On Sunday morning, we took a taxi to the Sittee Marina and waited for the boat to go out to Glovers atoll. The boat was a much smaller one than we went on 6 years ago, and it was a pretty bumpy, wet ride. There was the 4 of us, an Italian named Mathieu, and a family of 4.

We had planned to travel overland from Roatan, taking the morning ferry, busing to Omoa and spending a couple nights there, then bus to ... read more
