The Dream - part 2

Our 2nd port was Roatan, Honduras. It was cloudy and overcast, but warm enough to spend the day at the beach and for Ken to get a pretty good sunburn. Mahogany Bay is the new cruise terminal and they have built a nice beach area. We spent the day there and didn't even get out to see anything else. We were some of the first on the beach, but it didn't take long for all of these chairs to be filled.

Ken loves to snorkel and found this pretty conch shell. He wanted to keep it, but our luggage was already close to being overweight so it went back in the ocean.

They had a chair lift to transport passengers from the port terminal to the beach area. A chairlift to a beach (?) not something you see very often.

When we started the cruise Ken said he wanted to buy a goofy hat. I think he accomplished that very well! (just so you know I did not pick out his shirt either) The next day was Belize. We booked a snorkel tour online for Ken and Sue. Duane and I went along as observers.

The snorkeling took place 21 miles from Belize City, near Cay Caulker. It poured rain on our boat ride. I had a rain poncho but Sue, Duane and Ken got drenched.

This was a channel through the mangroves, it was really pretty.

We made a quick stop at Cay Caulker before going further out for the snorkeling. Fourteen hundred people live on this tiny island. It was really beautiful, but can you imagine the isolation of living here, not to mention.....the fear of hurricanes.

While snorkeling a whole group of sting rays came right up to the boat. The guides were feeding them sardines so it wasn't too long before they were swarming the area.


I have to throw the flower pictures in for the color. I love, love the colors.

For some reason I am fascinated with cemeteries. I found this grave on that tiny island. It had a concrete book shaped marker with all the names of the family members buried in the plot.

By the time we finished with our tour it was really hot on that small island. I can't imagine what the weather is like there during the summer months.

I better wrap it up tonight, we have a busy weekend ahead of us. We're going house hunting in Billings. Exciting! Probably won't be posting again till Sunday.
