... want to do the shark dive in May.  Utila is much cheaper, but I'm sure I'll discover it's shortcomings soon.  I leave Roatan tomorrow, and won't miss it. On a positive note, I finally got narc'd at deep depths while diving a wreck ...

... ist hier sehr teuer (12$/h) und es hat etwas gedauert, bis ich endlich ein halbwegs akzeptables Angebot (6$/h) gefunden habe. Roatan (West End) ist absolut umwerfend. Das karibische Feeling fliegt einen aus allen Richtungen entgegen. Traumhafte ...

... . The island has been hit by a hurricane in the past but is slowly being westernised at quite a pace with big villas and hotels popping up. As we arrived quite late we went to an argentinian steak house for dinner. After dinner managed to book in to do ...

... are drenched and throwing up for 1,5 hours. (No, there are NO pictures, do not be so cruel). When we finally arrive in Roatan, the luggage pick up is a mess. There are really 100s of cart board boxes, tens of garbage backs. People are waving with ...
