The rest of Day 10

There are lots of pictures! After we ate lunch today, we took a quick nap then headed to the beach for the rest of the day. It is by far the most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen. Some highlights: our stay here at the Mayan Princess is all-inclusive, which means food and drinks to our hearts’ content (no hauling a cooler to the beach!) AND they have servers periodically come and ask you if you need anything. It’s awesome. Also, the water is super clear and Honduras is home to the second largest coral reef in the world. We walked down the beach about a half-mile from where we are staying and got to see a ton of fish and some coral. Today I fell in love with Roatán. We are hoping to maybe go out and see some more tomorrow morning.

The hotel had live music tonight by a local entertainer, so after dinner we sat and listened to him. Now we are hoping to get some good rest for a full day tomorrow! Waayyy too many hours with very little sleep. Goodnight!

More Day 10 // Mayan Princess // picture post

More to come!

** Edit: We got to the port for the ferry to Roatán around 8:20am and waited to board until 9:30am. We didn’t actually leave port until almost 10:30am. The ride was fast and we were hitting tons of big waves. It took about an hour to arrive at Roatán’s port. We picked up our bags and found the bus driver to take us to the Mayan Princess. This is the nicest hotel in all of the island. We scored an awesome package deal that includes the ferry ride to and from, all meals and drinks, special club access and the actual hotel stay. When we arrived at the hotel (after what seemed like an eternity of driving), the staff had yummy juice drinks waiting to welcome us. I am blown away by the beauty not only of the island but of where we are staying. I am hoping to post some pictures of that tomorrow.**

Day 9 & part of Day 10

The rest of yesterday was spent running errands to make sure we had everything we needed for the islands. We ended up leaving last night at 12 midnight. Marco drove us all through the night and we arrived in La Ceiba at 5:30am. After a short nap in the car, once the sun was up (~6:30am) we drove to the shore and took a walk by the sea. There was an old dock that some people were fishing on, and we went out on it too to see the view. Afterwards, we had the breakfast of champions at Burger King. 😉 We are now checked in and waiting to board the ferry to take us to Roatán. We are sleepy but super excited!!

Nos vemos pronto!!
