I could really do with a lovely get-a-way like this right now. Always learning about lovely new destinations when I pop over to your blog, thanks for sharing xx
I know I would like to experience all those activities-except the diving!! I’d be happy viewing from a glass bottom boat! No I have never been to Honduras but after reading this would love to go there but for a lot longer then just a port call for a day!
This country looks so beautiful. I bet the animal preserve is a great site to see.
Whoa, there’s no lack of things to do there. I’m going to remember that destination for sure!
Sounds like a fun place to visit. I would try the ziplining through the canopy!
