This has to have been one of our laziest days so far. We got up & Tanja & I went to the shops for supplies (including a bottle of Bacardi & wine). A bit later Rach & I went to get some stuff for dinner & then Tanja & Sara went out again for a few other bits & pieces. So basically, the whole day was spent sitting on the deck, chatting, nipping out to the shops & utilising the coffee machine! Apart from that we did b***** all & n...

Up early for the 2 hour ferry/catamaran across to Roatan. It wasn't the smoothest crossing, however we did see a dolphin jumping alongside the boat, along with lots of flying fish skimming over the water. The arrival port was halfway along the island, so we had to get a taxi to West End/Half Moon bay, which we again shared with the Swiss girls. We ended up grabbing the first place we looked at which was a lovely wooden 2 bed apartment with a kitchen/diner & v...

Today's going to be a day on buses, so we struggled to find the enthusiasm to get up. When we did though & spoke to the reception, it turned out the bus didn't go until 12:30. This was a pain, as the journey up to La Ceiba was 7.5 hours. However with little we could do, we waited in the hostel & then taxied it over to catch the bus. Sleep & '24' got us through the trip, arriving after it was dark. We met & shared a cab to check out hostels with a ...

We tried to sneakily use the wifi of the local restaurants, (for me to call one of my 'God children' on her birthday (Eve)), but failed miserably! We did find an internet cafe on the way back to our place to checkout, but couldn't use Skype there either. So just printed out all the crap paperwork that we needed to. It seems that even though we're in the digital age (& the other side of the world!), multiple companies in the UK will only accept signed original...

My insurance very kindly ran out today, so I had to spend the morning trying to find Internet access to Skype them & sort the bloody thing out (as their number doesn't work from a mobile). (And......... technically it didn't run out, they just don't allow you to be out of the country for longer than 100 days on any one trip! b******s!). After 2 frustrating hours, I got it sorted, but it meant we'd just missed the bus to the border, so had to wait for an hour ...
