Well we are definitely adapting to Island time and taking it easy.  The rain did stop so Sunday morning so we took a water taxi over to West end to the dive shop and to have a look around.  We were able to get Bill a new mask so we should be set for some snorkeling.  West end is very much a backpacker, dive village.  Lots of bars, restaurants and dive shops. We were there before noon so most things were still closed and the village was not quite awake yet.  There isn't much of a beach as it is mainly a marina for the dive boats etc.  West Bay is much nicer, so we didn't stay too long.

Bill was not feeling well so I spent the day lounging around the pool and reading my book. Hopefully we will both be good to go for the rest of the vacation.

Monday we took a driving tour around the entire island, our driver, Juan Carlos showed us around and was very informative.  It's a very interesting island with many little villages, bays and inlets.  There is approximately 70,000 that live on the island.  There are two main cruise ship harbors and 1 - 18 hole golf course as well as many tourist attractions and resorts.  Once we saw the entire island we have decided we are staying in the best place there is.  West Bay is definitely the nicest beach with an abundance of great places to eat and our little B&B is a lovely quiet place to relax which is only 1 block off the beach.  We have the best snorkeling on the island with the reef right off shore.

This is the beach at the Meridian Resort at the west tip of the island where we also had dinner the other night.  No live music as the weather was too windy and rainy.

The resort is not quite complete yet so the beach is very quite.

When it is complete it will be a beautiful spot.

The Black iguana is native to the island, but is very hard to spot as they blend into the black coral rocks.

The people of Honduras eat iguana, but just the green ones.  They hunt them in the jungle by climbing the trees and shaking the branches until they fall and then the dogs catch them when they hit the ground.  Apparently they taste like chicken.  Maybe if we get brave we will try them.  However we will have to go to a local restaurant to find it.
