Carnival Dream Day 4-Rotan

Day 4 the ship stopped in Rotan, Honduras. This was my favorite stop on the cruise. The island was beautiful. We rented a car and drove around the island. We stopped and hiked through a botanical garden, then stopped so I could get a picture at the butterfly garden (it is a virtual cache), and then the kids and I went to the private beach area walking distance from the ship.

Pictures from our balcony of the sunrise, in the distance you can see islands in the clouds.
coming into port, there were several other ships in this day. we were in the new port.



while driving around we found a botanical garden. definitely worth the stop.



John and the kids, and I hiked to the top of the mountain, while James and Becky walked around the gardens.


Views from the top




Honduras virtual cache...at least I got one in Honduras now!
driving around the island, it was beautiful. I think this was the zoo.
Back in the shopping area by the ship.

Over by the private beach, we walked. Sage really wanted to ride the ski lift, but it was $5 a person.
I want to going kayaking in these clear bottom kayaks one day.
The kids snorkeling. These 3-4 inch long fish kept chasing the kids around in the water.


Us riding the turtles in front of the bar area.



Just as we were getting out we started finding all these starfish like the one below along the waters edge. My camera battery was dieing so I was lucky to finally get a picture.
