This is my last day on Utila after an awesome week. I didn't really plan to stay this long but it was just so good to be staying in one place for a while. Tomorrow I'm taking the ferry back to mainland Honduras and then I'm going to start making my way north again towards Belize.
The last couple of days have been pretty busy. My dive course included 2 free fun dives so I did those on Thursday. The weather wasn't ideal so we didn't get to go round to the north side of the island as I'd hoped, but we did get to visit one of the small cays off the west end of Utila called Pidgeon Cay. The little islands are tiny so all the buildings are on stilts and it makes for a very quaint atmosphere. The lunch stop for fish burgers was a pretty cool way to pass the necessary surface interval between dives.
After so much diving a bunch of us decided to take the day off on Friday and we spent it on the beach just outside of town. Deck chairs in the sun mixed with a bit of snorkelling was a very cool way to spend the day. Yesterday I joined the whale shark research units trip out to find the whale sharks. But alas, we didn't find a single one. More cool spinner dolphins though. We drowned our sorrows with gusto last night though and today has been much the worse for it!
I actually took my raging hangover on a bonefishing trip today. I hired a local fisherman to drive me out to the flats to the north of the island with the hope of landing bagfuls of these elusive fish. I did manage to catch one but my thumping headache did its best to spoil the moment. I'm now going to have an evening siesta.
I'll try get this computer to stop misbehaving so I can add some photos but that may have to wait till another day...
