Roatan.....one and only :-)

No, we have not gone there only once.....BUT we did not do very much at this port and hence there will only be one blog about it. The one time Kim, Sofia and I went out just for a coffee....a typical Honduran coffee.....we decided to take a Frappuccino rather than a cappuccino because it was just too hot. It was called Walala....and guess what, it was delicious....of course sweet...but delicious....let me share a pic....

Coffee Place

Unfortunately I did not take a pic of our Frappuccino because I thought we would go there again...but we did not end up going there again because most of the times we actually stayed on the ship and enjoyed our time there. The time when my parents were onboard we did go out, but dad felt like a beer and that is NOT possible at the coffee place so we decided to take a drink at Monkey La...let me share a pic of the Monkey La....

Monkey La

Dad enjoyed his beer and mom and I both enjoyed a frozen Margarita....and it was damn good...in fact it was one of the best ones we have had...so yes, if you go there and you do not want to venture out of the tourist village...both the Walala is a good option for a yummie coffee or the Monkey La for a cocktail and even something to eat (this time we did not eat but Kim, Sofia and I have eaten there before and we had the fried chicken with fries and it was delicious). 

Before going back to the ship we decided to do some photos at the entrance of the tourist village...one time just Sofia and I and once while dad and mom were here....time to share...

Mom, Sofia and I

So yes, it is not the most exciting port for us...but there are some reasons. First of all, the dolphin encounter is amazing...but Sofia is too young for that. There are some beaches, but many have a lot of insects, now that is not a problem for adults, but with Sofia, we did not really want to exposure her to that unnecessarily...so we opted not to do beaches. That being said, once she is a little bit older, there will be plenty of things to do with her. For now...we just enjoy Walala and Monkey La. From me....cheers....and we chat soon.....

Another cruise in Western Caribbean

This is the second week....we started the journey in Tampa and this Tampa we decided to take Sofia to the aquarium...I was quite interested to see whether she would be fascinated with the fishes or not....and she was....certain ones...certain ones not too much....but she definitely enjoyed going there. The aquarium had 8 sections: Wetlands Trail, Journey to Madagascar, Bays & Beaches, No Bone Zone, Coral Reefs, Dragons Down Under, Ocean Commotion and Splash Pad. We visited all except for the Splash Pad (that is outside for the kids to play and it was closed at the moment). It was nice also because there were areas where you could touch the sting rays...I enjoyed that, Sofia did not want to touch them, and nor did Kim.

Sofia in the Jeep Kim and the Jeep Cherokee Friday night we had some Sushi take-aways because Sofia was jet lagged, and so were we, so we did not make it to a restaurant with her.  Saturday there was also quite a few admin things to get done...but it was a rainy day....it rained almost the whole day...so we got a bit wet, but it is warm rain......so never mind. We started off by driving past our new home (could not go inside as the current owners were packing up) and then we made our way to McKinney where we have a friend who has been so kind to receive and store all of our post,
