Trip to Utila

I went to Utila this past weekend to explore and help pass time. I went with a girl from Canada 20, a girl from London 26, and a guy from North Carolina 26. We had a blast. Although we are all from totally different walks of life with totally different views it was really fun! Utila is an Island off the coast of Ceiba. There are 3 main islands, Utila, Roatan and Guanaja. Roatan is the largest and the one cruise ships stop. The two islands Utila and Roatan are known for being some of the best and cheapest islands in the world to get your scuba certification ($250.00). It is a 4 day course so I didn’t do it this weekend but I plan on getting it before returning to the states. The boat takes a bit over an hour to get to the island and the drivers do not hold back in any way! They seriously gun it to get to the island. I don’t think they would even stop if someone fell off the boat. I was up in the front outside with the 3 people I was going with and we got seriously from head to toe soaked. Our bags were soaked and everything we had brought was completely soaked. Whose idea was it to sit in the front of the boat the entire time? We have no idea. We arrived on the island soaked and frustrated and knew we would never do that again! We found a hotel with 3 pools for $4 per night! It is nicer than my home stay room! The food was reasonable on the island with a variety of different restaurants. There were bikes and scooters everywhere! The guy we were with rented a scooter and took turns driving us around. We played by the pool and went out to a bar up in a tree house that was incredible. I guess all of the locals and tourists go to that bar and then head up to another bar up the road after midnight in the hills where they can blast music. That was incredible. If I have ever thought that I had any rhythm or could dance even somewhat decently… I now know I have absolutely NO rhythm and no idea how to dance. These Hondurans can DANCE! The women and even little girls here are amazing. I cannot begin to describe it… But that was a very fun night and I was able to get a baleada on the street at 2 am on the way back to the hotel. On the boat ride back to Ceiba we sat in the cabin which was a much better idea. Although we did see a couple of people throw up into the bags they provide on every ride. At least we were all dry and had tons of fun. Utila is a place where many people go to scuba dive and relax that never end up leaving. There are Hondurans from the mainland and all over Central America speaking Spanish, there are actual islanders that speak this slang English with a unique accent, and there are people from all over the world that have gone to visit and never left…
