Honeymoon! Part Two!

So while Belize was amazing, Roatan, Honduras was a paradise. Seriously, just look at the pictures:


That's the view just from the dock


Welcome to Roatan!

We decided to just chill that day. Nothing too strenuous. Luckily we met up with his work buddies at breakfast so we decided to go to a beach on the other side of the island. GREAT idea.

We get a taxi and go to this beach and rent some snorkeling equipment and went out. We had SO much fun! I wish that I had an underwater camera. That would have been even more incredible. It was some absolutely amazing snorkeling. Not quite as good as Eilat, but still amazing. It was also Drew's first time snorkeling. He had fun. :)

Some more pictures:

The amazing beach



Soo pretty :)


A restaurant on the way back, also a great lookout point


Ignore the hair, we just went swimming



And there was even a monkey! With Tim and Connie
It was such a nice and relaxing day. Perfect to relax before the next day. Also we came back to a penguin!



The next day we went to Cozumel, Mexico. I've been there once before when I went on a cruise with my family for my brother's graduation. Last time I went, I went to Xcaret, and it was so awesome that I wanted to go again, so Drew and I went there. It was so worth it! We could have been there for a whole week.



These were at the entrance. So cute :)

After entering the park we decided to do the undersea trek. That was so fun. A little chilly, but it was fun.


The waterfall in the butterfly house :)


Butterfly! :D


So pretty!

Pretty!


That butterfly took so long to get a picture


So gorgeous


Hubby trekking through the jungle :P

After the butterflies we went to see the big kitties.


The black jaguar


The Puma (as if I didn't see enough of these things)

Then we walked around and saw the turtles! They have a turtle breeding and rehabilitation program. It was so cool to see the different groups of turtles from newly hatched babies to full grown turtles recovering from some injury.

Here is my hubby looking over at the turtles:



TURTLE!


Baby turtles!

We had such a great day and it was so much fun. And we came back to a cute monkey.





It was such an amazing cruise. It was so nice to get a break from things and to just relax. I'll definitely recommend for my friends getting married to take their honeymoon later. It's so much easier. And you can really appreciate it.

So worth it. What a wonderful and WARM trip. :) Love the Caribbean.
