Roatan, Honduras

My most anticipated stop was Roatan, Honduras. It's a new stop - the cruise line just started stopping there about 6 months ago (instead of Jamaica). I had heard that the beach was one of the best in the world with some of the best snorkeling. But it was actually our least favorite beach of the trip. And with such big waves, it was hard to snorkel. Brady and I did do some awesome snorkeling and saw incredible stuff, but we couldn't get over the large reef to the deeper part of the ocean, because of the large waves.

The island was pretty, though. Very green. But very poverty-stricken. I called it the "poor-man's Mexico". We had a long cab ride to the beach and saw a lot of the island - most of it very poor.
Mahogany Bay is very nice - it's new and was built just for the cruise ship that stop here. It's also deceiving because it is nothing like the rest of the island.

Our ship - the Crown Princess.

There were so many beautiful flowers in bloom - a sight for sore eyes!

As always, Gibson is as happy as a clam just playing in the sand and ocean all day!
