Day 57: Utila, Honduras

I don't think we've documented our time on Utila very well in pictures. Today I change that.












Today I finished up my advanced diver course with two dives, the first being an underwater photography dive. Here are a few of my favorites:

That's a Green Moray in the center here:




Mr. Perrotfish


The ever-elusive Fairy Baslets

Woah, now that's a fish (ie that's me)




When we arrived back on Utila from today's diving, we had only a few minutes to pull our stuff together, put the diving photos on a cd, pay for my course, and catch the ferry at 2pm. At 1:55 we walked out to the dock only to see the frothing trail behind the ferry which had left a few minutes before. Crap.

As I lay in bed last night, I felt sad that after spending as much time as we have here, I hadn't really seen much of the island. Now with hours to kill and another night on the island I had my chance. I walked clear across the island and back, just me and my camera. The "other side" is quite a contrast to the moped/atv dodging hustle bustle scene on main street.










I returned to the inhabited side of the island just in time to watch the sun sneak below the horizon.
