There are lots of visitors on the island right now. Spring break is in full swing. Helicopters zoom by with tourists, large yachts are available to rent right off West Bay Beach…price: $480,000 a week. Now if we can get 100 close friends to share, we might be able afford the rent!
Want to go golfing…Roatan now features a beautiful golf course- open since the first of the year.
But wait! One more month and everyone will be gone except the divers. Everywhere you look there are large groups of college age kids enjoying banana boat rides, snorkeling, diving and of course.....Salva Vida and Port Royal ....the local brews. Easter will be even crazier. But soon May will come with hot humid days, cruise ships will move to other ports and the island will wait for the next season and have a chance to recoup from all the visitors from Spring Break 2011.
Well, only a short time left for this trip. It is amazing how fast the visit has gone. We still have lots of exploring left to do, visits to other islands and the mainland so I know we will find a way to return as soon as we can. Yesterday we spent at the Meridian's beach enjoying the water and sunshine. We spotted some very large lizards- a type of Iguana lazing on the rocks.

Last night we had dinner with friends in West End at Besos. Most of the folks we have made friends with are also going their separate ways as well…Europe, Canada, and the states. We all hope to meet again next year.
Today we snorkeled and toured the North side of Roatan on a speed boat with four other folks. What fun! Fastest I've ever gone in a boat and the waves outside the reef were large!

We stopped by Anthony's Key Resort, snorkeled in several places and had lunch at Turquoise Bay before speeding back to West Bay Beach.

But we have so many more things we want to do....guess we'll just have to come back!
