Island of Roatan, Honduras


At Fountain
Outside Bar

           Friday, 25 Mar 2016 – This morning we went for a quick breakfast.  Since the ship was anchored off shore, we boarded one of the ship’s tenders at 11:00 AM and proceeded ashore.   After walking around a little while, we decided to follow the sign to the cruise line’s private beach.  There was an overhead chairlift available for a charge, but we chose to walk to the beach.  It turned out to be quite a distance, so eventually, Sally decided to sit on a bench and wait there while Jesse walked the remaining distance.  It was a really nice beach with lots of shops and lawn chairs, and a very nice swimming area.  After snapping a few photos, Jesse returned to see Sally and several other passengers watching a small iguana sitting on the walkway.  The iguana was staring back at the passengers, apparently hoping for a “treat.”  We discussed returning to the ship and going back to the beach with our swimsuits, but decided to swim in the ship’s pool instead, which we thought would be much more enjoyable.

After our swim and a light lunch, we spent the remainder of the afternoon relaxing in our cabin.   We watched “A Royal Night Out” on TV, a 2015 British romantic comedy-drama film about the young Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret venturing out of Buckingham Palace to enjoy the Victory in Europe Day celebrations.
Easter Egg Display

Merrill and Grace had found an Easter egg display in the ship’s piazza, so we stopped there for photos after dinner; then we danced for a little while to The Great Escape in the Wheelhouse Bar before retiring for the night.  Between our walk ashore and our afternoon swim, Sally managed to get a light sunburn on her back and shoulders; Jesse only had a red nose.
