Utila, Honduras (Beaches)



This is where we stayed in Utila. Patrick got his open water dive certification here. We went diving almost everyday and on days we didnt go we just snorkled on the beach out front. There were lots of fish, 2 sea horses, these little crabs (above) and lots more. The reefs in Utila were gorgeous!




This is one of the top ten bars in the world!  The entire place was made of tile, bottles, glass, and lots of different recycled material. It was absolutley amazing. The owner has been working on this place for over 20 years.

On the other side of the island were these fresh water caves. You were literally on hands and feet crawling through them and you could light candles along the way to guide you. (we also had a flash light) Once you got to the water there were strings that you could follow underwater that would guide you to other caverns. We did 3 swim throughs but I guess if you are brave enough and knew what your doing you can go through a lot more.

We were looking at a crab we found.

We think this is a trantula that we saw in the cave. We also saw some sort of crab scorpian mix but didnt get a picture of it.

We lucked out and the week were there was carnival. So there were lots of street parties, parades, and  a Ms. Utila contest.

We crawled through some mangroves to sneak into this almost full moon party. Once we got there we were glad we snuck in because it was kinda lame and would not have been worth paying the cover.

This is us on our dive boat with our friends Carly and Sigrid. We were peacefully relaxing on top and then we hit some crazy waves and were hanging on for our lives.
