We woke up to the sun coming up in Roatan. Roatan, Honduras has to be the most beautiful island I've ever seen on a cruise. It was so lush and tropical with rolling hills and flowers everywhere. They said it was just built & opened in the fall 2009.
We picked up the free tanzinite earrings from Tanzinite International and I found my ornament representing our cruise trip at one of the local stores. We looked through all the little stores at the dock and then took the "Flying Beach Chair" ride over to the beach. It was exactly like a ski lift except there is never any snow. And we saw an iguana hanging out in a tree from the chair lift.
After going to the beach for a little bit, we saw the captain of our ship strolling along & drinking a Coke. He is Italian & was so friendly every time we saw him. We had no idea that Roatan had a town to go to until later that night at dinner. I did want to do the zip line really bad, but Vince wasn't in the mood to zip around the jungle. We're going to try to do the zip line the next time we go to Gatlinburg.
We went back to the ship for lunch (and diet pina coloda cake). We then both crashed for about 2 hours. For dinner, I ate the pork chop and Vince had the rack of lamb. Before the show started, we played bingo and bet $3 on a horse race. We didn't win. The show that night featured a comedian. They had more comedians on this cruise instead of Broadway shows than any other ship I've been on. After the show, they split us up into blue & red teams based on even or odd numbered cabins. We were blue. We had the crazy wedding part on our team that all acted about 21 on their first night out. We sort of drifted away after doing karaoke with them and just hung out in the main lobby. At midnight, they had a deck party with dancing and a huge buffet of Mexican food and desserts.
We had a monkey towel that night.
