It’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything new. Alot has happened in my life in the past month but I will focus on my latest vacation. My husband and I took a seven day cruise to the Western Caribbean.
We arrived in Miami, Florida and sailed on the Carnival Valor.
Our first port was Grand Cayman,Cayman Islands. We went snorkeling in the morning.
The wind made for a tough swim and I never made it to the reef as the water was just too rough for me. I did however enjoy the boat ride and the sites on the way.
We spent the afternoon at Margaritaville. Free shots, good food and even better entertainment thanks to all the fun people traveling.
The Next day we escaped to an 11½ – acre private island with white sand beaches and crystal clear waters. We began with a scenic boat ride to Maya Key where our day was relaxing and adventurous. Lounging under the swaying coconut palms of Maya Key’s beach, and we enjoy the opportunity to snorkel in calm Roatan’s sparkling waters and explored the barrier reef. We also got a chance to see native Honduran wildlife, such as a Jaguar, Ocelot, Margay, monkeys and reptiles at the Animal Sanctuary and Rescue Center. I made friends with a monkey named George who was very affectionate. He gave me many hugs and kisses.
Our next port was Belize. We went cave tubing and I did not have a good day. It started off good with a nice hike through the rain forest but once we got to the cave and started tubing I got sick. I kept blaming it on food poisoning but it turns out I was claustrophobic. As soon as we got out of the cave I was fine. Unfortunately Belize is very poor and very run down and dirty. We should have spent our time snorkeling since they have some of the best waters on the barrier reef. Maybe next time.
Our next day we stopped off in Cozumel, Mexico we boarded another boat and went to Cancun for a long bus ride to the Mayan Ruins of Tulum.
Tulum is the site of a Pre-Columbian Maya walled city serving as a major port for Cobá. The ruins are located on 39 ft cliffs, along the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula on the Caribbean Sea
WOW!!! Great pics! Looked like you enjoyed your vacation, and had a great time (except for being clastrophobic).
looked like a lot of fun!
