Ya Man! We're back in the Caribbean!!!!!
Our journey to our new host was long and slightly stressful, but the island greeters came in the form of a pod of dolphins that followed our ferry, a exciting surprise following our 13 hour trip in a van.
After being broken up with by our Nicaraguan Surf Camp Hostel stay, we hooked up with an even sweeter relationship with a host on a small island off of Honduras.
Utila is known as the place where backpackers come to get their PADI dive certificate. This small little island is full of scuba shops and tanned bodies. After living in a constant party in Antigua, Lewis and I are very pleased to be staying off the main path, away from the thump thump of island party hostels. Colibri Hill Resort is a lovely little old colonial style building, over looking a small garden, pool and its own five star restaurant. Our boss is wonderful and we get to practice our spanglish with the other employees! Our work hours are relaxed and I get to waitress again on the weekends, while Lewis gets to be a handyman.We've committed two months here, at $2 an hour, and are happy we've done so!
After living in a 23 person open loft, it's nice to spread out in our own mini apartment. Although I did just have to evect a tarantula from our room!!!!! Plus Lewis bravely removed a HUGE one from the outside pool bar yesterday. What a hero!
One last note to squeeze in is the way people talk here. I know they are speaking English but I can hardly understand what they are saying!!!! And apparently they speak their own style of Spanish so that will be fun for Lewis and I's learning!!!!
Life is good, back to the go slow vibes :) Fingers crossed we spot a whale shark!!!!
