I cannot believe I am almost caught up with the blog. This is hard to do with little internet service.
Today finds us in Roatan, Honduras. 3 other cruise ships have found this place too. We can tell we are on the Caribbean side. Many more tourists.

| A Roatan "chicken bus"! |
 |
| Policia. |
 |
| We hired a driver to drive us around the island to the west end. Yes, that is a dirt road. |
 |
| You can see a Royal Caribbean ship in the foreground. Our little Explorer is peaking out from the left side. |
 |
| We cannot even imagine the poverty here. The mainland is much worse. |
 |
| The "main" road across the island. Where is all that cruise ship money going? |
 |
| We got to "Bananarama" on the West End, and found that many others discovered this place as well. |
 |
| Bob Falstein and his sister Debbie joined us for lunch. |
 |
| Ok, this was a turnoff. Too many people on the beach. We headed out. |
 |
| Our little home away from home. |
Here you showed both sides of Honduras – the paradisiacal beauty of the beaches, a lush tropical environment, which is so appreciated by all who visit the Caribbean side! In contrast, the injustice of poverty – children wishing for a fraction of we consider the necessities of life!
ReplyDeleteThen you asked “Where is all that cruise ship money going?” Good question!!!
