Our Cruise

This is a picture of the Crown Princess from the shore of Grand Cayman. We had to tender ashore. Not much to do here other than water activities. Mostly banks and investment companies.



We hopped aboard this catamaran and went to kiss a stingray.



First thing is to get into the water with these ugly creatures.



Just make sure that you look where you are walking



Then you grab them from underneath. Feels like a halibut belly.




You can also have them give a back rub. It actually feels pretty good.




Then you pucker up and try not to think about what you are doing. Its pretty salty.




Then we headed to a nearby reef and Glenda went snorkeling.




This is what the reef looked like



This is the port at Roatan Honduras. Brand new and clean. Unlike the rest of the island.



We booked a tour that took us into the mangroves on a motorized canoe type boat. You can see that the locals have learned about tips and put in plain sight on the boat.



The mangroves were not too impressive but we had a good tour of the island



We stopped along the road to look at some tourist stuff. We never found anything worth buying and came home with no trinkets.



This a large gathering of Iguanas at an Iguana "farm". It was someone's backyard and it was supposed to be a refuge for Iguanas.



They weren't shy and were wandering all over the farm. We heard they taste like chicken.




In Cozumel, we hopped a ferry and went to the mainland to tour a Mayan ruin.




This part of the ruin along the beach.




The buildings had a lot of ornate carvings in the rocks




The buildings were pretty large and the construction was amazing considering how old they are.



We got a portrait taken on board the ship. Aren't we good looking?
