Day 7 - Roatan

Today we docked at Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Honduras. What a gorgeous island! We had another private tour scheduled so we hiked in past the port area and met our guide. She took us on a 5 hour trip around the entire island. We stopped at the East end on top of a mountain for a great panoramic view of the whole island. Then we went to a resort beach, an iguana refuge, a very nice bay area on the West end, and then to a butterfly farm. There were plenty of shopping stops along the way too!

Finally we asked our tour guide to recommend some a local hang out where we could sample some traditional cuisine. We settled on stewed iguana served with fried plantains and beans & rice. We practically licked the plates clean it was so good!
