At the Rotterdam Hotel I met two Canadians, Cindy and Drew, who were heading for the Utila ferry early the next morning. We all shared the cab which turned out to be the smartest move for the price to the ferry docks is fixed. Whether your one or five the trip will run you 6US, which for here is pretty steep.
Reefs off Roatan a magnet for the snorkel, scuba set

ROATAN, Honduras - Just a scant 55 kilometres off the coast of Honduras, Roatan is the largest of the three Bay Islands that are a magnet for snorkellers and scuba divers from around the world.
Stretching 65 kilometres long and just three kilometres wide at its thickest, much of Roatan’s north coast is paralleled by a coral reef second only in length to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.
Roatan is a beautiful place. In fact, much of what makes it appealing is out of sight, under water — stunning coral with thousands of brilliantly coloured fish.
