Roatan, Honduras Dec. 11, 2024

Visited island of Roatan on a cruise. Had rented a motorcyle when there before, so decided to take a tour from Rony's Tours. It was reasonably-priced and allowed us to plan our own day. We had to tender as Roatan was quite busy that day with 3 ships at one port plus 2 at Mahogany Bay. We met the guide just outside the port (ask me for directions) and we made some short stops along the water, then went to AJ's to visit sloths & monkeys. Next we went to nearby Arch's Iguana Hideaway. Then we went to find a very unsightly lighthouse I had not seen before (Isla Roatan Punte Oeste). It took a bit of convincing to go there, and some sleuthing & walking to actually see it. After successfully adding lighthouse 609 to my count, we did a little more driving around until asking to go back to the ship.
