Hey everyone!
After a relaxing week in Sarapiqui for free travel we flew here to the beautiful island of Roatan, Honduras. It was an easy and early trip, when we got here we spent the day unpacking and hanging out in our awesome hotel. On Thursday morning we walked next door to seagrape plantation diving center to begin our SCUBA course. Our instructors Tony and Reno showed us some informational videos and then took us to get geared up. On our first day we got to dive! It was a shallow dive (of 30 ft) but still incredible. It was strange adjusting to the underwater world but everyone did great.
For the past 2 days weve been doing SCUBA class all day, usually info in the morning and diving in the afternoon. In the evening we get to explore the westend of the island and test out great local eateries. Tomorrow is already our last day of diving and I think well all be able to get our certificates.
Trivia:
– Roatan’s population is 65,000
-English is the dominant language here
-On Christopher Columbus’s 4th voyage he landed on one of the three bay islands
– The currency of Honduras is the Lempira
-There is over 100 kilometers of Coral Reef around Roatan
Love you all and see you soon! Stay posted for one more blog of our last few days, we’ve got some great pics coming!
Love, Emily
P.S. Shout out to the Worthy’s in NC! We went to Bojangles last night for some good southern cooking…
