Just back from a fantastic cruise. There were 11 of us in our group, ranging from teens, 20's, 40's and 60's. I had reserved with Bodden Tours a month or so before the trip and was excited about meeting our guide and having a great tour. Victor met us at the booth and said he was our guide for the day! :D He is an impressive young man in his 30's and we felt right a home with him. We went ziplining, visited his lovely home and family, went by shipwrecks for photo ops. One in our group asked how real vine ripened bananas taste, "are they better than store bought?", well Victor took us to a small roadside stand and we got 11 bananas! They were wonderful. Victor spoke proudly of the Roatan culture and we found it all fascinating. We said we were getting hungry for lunch and he took us to a beautiful spot on the water were we ordered lunch, it was fun to sit around the table and share stories with him. From the same location, we put on our snorkel gear and headed out in the water for some time to see the fish. Time was running out, but we also managed to go to the beautiful beaches by Tabyana and walked along there for a bit. Then the scenic ride back to the ship. It was sad to leave the island, as it is beautiful. Thank you Victor for a fabulous day.
It did rain a bit in the morning while we were there:cool: , but like Victor says, "a rainy day in Roatan, is better than any sunny day at work"!:) We are glad we stuck to our plans and the weather did clear up and was sunny in the afternoon. We had a wonderful day! Thank you again!:p
