Roatan – Alex In Wanderland https://www.alexinwanderland.com Sun, 08 Apr 2018 01:45:53 +0000 en-US hourly 1 Diving in Barefoot: Scuba Diving Roatan with Barefoot Cay https://www.alexinwanderland.com/diving-with-barefoot-divers-roatan/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=diving-with-barefoot-divers-roatan https://www.alexinwanderland.com/diving-with-barefoot-divers-roatan/#comments Fri, 21 Aug 2015 14:00:00 +0000 https://www.alexinwanderland.com/?p=35983 Five days in Roatan flew by. And while compiling my notes and photos for a post about my time there, I had to admit that quite frankly, I didn’t squeeze much into them. I could blame the weather, or my partner-in-crime Rika (with whom I was too busy gossiping and giggling to be bothered to leave […]

As my plane touched down in Roatan, it felt like just yesterday that I’d landed in Managua. It was a meaningful place to end […]

When we were planning our trip to Honduras, there was endless chatter regarding which of the two most popular Bay Islands was best (poor Guanaja got the short end of the stick). Roatan lovers told us Utila was dirty and filled with rude backpackers and Utila fans told us Roatan was pricey and boring. So naturally, […]

Cayman Airways flew to three international destinations (outside the US): Jamaica, Cuba, and Honduras. We weren’t all that interested in Jamaica so it was really down to two. We were really leaning towards Cuba but in […]

Sea Ferries, too pukey. Buses, overdone, yawn! Semi private sea catamaran? I think I shall! Okay so we didn’t really have all those other choices in order to get from Roatan to Utila. I mean, we could have taken the sea ferry back to the mainland and then out to Utila, but it […]

When I travel, I look forward to seeing. Not just the big sites in guidebooks, not just the beautiful beaches and the hailed natural wonders. I like to see everything; the energy and mood, the roadside stands, the way people live. It’s the things you can’t really discern from a book or a picture. I like […]

After the beach the night before we came back to our new home for the week and discovered our hosts were having a barbeque. Perfect, instant friends! We were greeted warmly and treated like old pals, reminding me again why I love the traveling […]

At 50sq miles it’s big enough to stave off “island fever” and small enough to feel like a community and always see the water. We stayed in West End, the popular backpacking and diving community spaced along a pleasant bay. However, a short […]

After a morning of leisurely cliff jumping we piled in a cab and headed back to La Ceiba town. […]
