Roatan was going to be our 3night/2 and a half day mini break in the carribean ocean and we were looking forward to it. To get there we had a 5.30am start, 3hr bus ride and then about a 2hr ferry crossing to get there.
The ferry crossing was not good, in fact it was nauseating! I have never seen so many people vomit continuously on a ferry trip. I didn't feel quesy because I have the good sense to take a travel sickness pill before even getting on the boat, but the violent lurching of the boat made me feel dizzy.
Once we arrived on Roatan, we recovered quickly because it looked like paradise. Aquamarine waters and white sandy beaches - just the place to relax and recharge our batteries.
Allison informed us of all the optional activities we could do whilst on Roatan, snorkelling, diving, dolphin show, hiking, fishing and kayaking. Alan signed up for the snorkelling excursion whereas I signed up for sunbathing around the pool and reading my book - very strenuous!
So I enjoyed a very peaceful 3hrs reading and trying my hand at topless sunbathing (shocking!) whilst Alan went snorkelling. He came back delighted at seeing an eagle ray (a bit like a sting ray) and I had less white patches then before.
We spent every evening as a group at the Sundowners Bar, drinking happy hour beers and cocktails whilst watching the most gorgeous sunsets. Unfortunately this can happen when you've had one to many.............
