This was our first time in Roatan, so we did a “best of” tour with Victor Bodden Tours. Ali was our guide, and he was really great. He emphasized several times that it was our day, our tour, and we could do whatever we wanted. A couple from the roll call joined us, and it was great having Craig and Jane with us. We were all pretty easy going, just wanted to see the sights, which we did. We visited Bodden’s Monkey Business, which was neat and sad. It was very cool holding and playing with the various monkeys (and birds), but it makes me sad that the animals aren’t out in the wild as they should be. We had a great lunch at a restaurant overlooking the sea – we had the coconut fish, as it is a local dish. NUMMY! We stopped at the cameo factory, and although it was neat to see the items for sale, we were disappointed that we did not get to see anyone actually working on the cameos.

the little monkeys were so CUTE!!
these guys are very smart - they know where the guides keep the treats, they will steal sunglasses, open purses, unzip zippers, take coins out of pockets...
monkeys aren't the only animals at Monkey Business
just one of the beautiful flowers we saw
can you imagine this huge behemoth pulling up next to your town/village??!!
