{CARIBBEAN} Day Four - Roatan, Honduras

Though we were a bit delayed in our arrival to Roatan...

the largest of the Bay Islands of Honduras, we docked at Mahogany Bay around lunchtime...

and met our tour group to head out to Gumbalimba Park... 

where we saw the beach...


iguanas...


a bird of paradise...


and a bomb tree...


before crossing a swinging wooden bridge...


where we saw macaws...


and capuchin monkeys...

{right before B's monkey launched off of him and straight on to me ~ can't you just see it in its face???}

Lastly, we saw a kapok tree...


When we returned from the park, we did a little shopping...


and Hubby took the kids to the beach...


where they had a good bit of fun...


Grandma and I did a little sightseeing on the dock where we could see the magical flying chair system (a ski lift that goes to the beach and back)...


Afterwards, I took the flying chair over to the beach solo...


to meet back up with Hubby and the kids to spend the rest of the afternoon on the beach...


where we saw just a little reminder of home...


before "flying" back to the main shopping area at the port...


as the sun was setting...


What a FUN day in Honduras!

{CARIBBEAN} Day Three - George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands

 This morning, we anchored off the coast of George Town, the capital of Grand Cayman, the largest island in the Cayman Islands...


Grandma decided to stay behind on the ship, as she has visited Grand Cayman a few times before...

!!!

but we proceeded straight into town...


in search of a bus...


to take us straight to Hell...


where we checked out the famous rocks...


Looks a bit familiar... I was last here just about 26 years ago!

!!!


Next, we mailed a few postcards...


and shared some fresh coconut water...


before waiting on a bus returning to town...


On the way back, we made a quick photo stop at the Old Homestead, one of the oldest homes on Grand Cayman...

!!!

When we arrived back to town, we made a stop for water, and loved seeing this mama chicken strutting along the road keeping her baby chicks in line...


From there...


we grabbed a taxi and made our way over to the George Town Yacht Club...


for a delicious lunch!


before doing a little shopping and tendering back over to the ship...


where we showered and changed and (might of) napped a bit before catching up with Grandma and grabbing an early dinner...


In B's case, an early first dinner, but honestly, I think dinner with Grandma was actually his second dinner, but who's keeping count at this point???

A new country for all SIX of us is on tap tomorrow!
