The island

We all took a trip up the local water tower. From the top you can just about see the entire island!

My apartment

Thought you might all want to see some photos of the view from our apartment that sits on the lagoon.

I´ll probably only be on Utila for another few days. Starting to get itchy feet and I´m not going to do a huge amount more of diving so it´s time to move on somewhere else.




And another shot of a beach.

Horse riding

Went for a pony trek yesterday. Above is my horse "Blue Thunder" - AKA Binky. Possibly the slowest horse on the island due to the fact that in human years hes carrying about 70 years.

Suited me fine. All the other horses were a little bit excitable.



Lovely walk around the countryside to the beach and then onto some cave pools for a quick swim.



Apparently these are some pictures from over 300 years ago - not entirely convinced by that.

Water Cay

The other day we took a trip over to one of the cays that surround the bay island.



Lovely place, great for snorkelling and swimming around.



It also seemed to be the nursery for a huge number of little fish.



We had a small little fire and cooked up some hotdogs and got nicely toasted on a crate of beer.

Under the sea!

Here we are, fully qualified advanced open water divers!



Part of the course was underwater photography. Here´s a selection of some of the better pictures (most of the good ones were taken by the instructer, but the ones of the fishes are by me.
