Wow I can't believe my time here has come to an end. I think I started to get island fever towards the end but then when it was actually time to go I got so sad. Last night all the spotted eagle rays came out to the dock to say goodbye it was so cool! There was like 10 or more!
Ocean angels
We left to Roatan a day early because the waves were getting bigger and bigger and it wouldn't be safe. We left for Roatan this morning at 8 am. We said our goodbyes and began our treck across the caribbean. I am not going to sugar coat the boat ride, lets just say it was one of the scariest moments of my life, but all that matters is we made it safe. The boat captain said he had been through worse waves before but I was holding on for dear life, and I was completely and utterly drenched afterwards. After the boat ride the captain told me that from La Ceiba to Cayos its only 300 feet deep but the ride from Cayos to Roatan that we had just done was 4200 feet deep!!! Let's just say that I am so happy he told me that after the fact or else I would have been freaking out even more than I already was. Once we made it to the island we checked in to our hotel at the Roatan Yacht club which is extremely nice! There is a little restaurant and I have a nice bedroom that has a balcony over the harbor. After a quick lunch we decided to spend our last day doing something fun! So we headed down the island a little bit to this awesome zip lining place! The view at the top was unbelievable!

The tour guys taught us how to do cool zip lining tricks! They were doing backflips, front flips, handstands, hanging upside down, everything! Heres the trick I mastered! Nothing beats the view zip lining down!
So fun!!
Then, when we got to the bottom they had an area where we could see so many cool animals. We got to play with a monkey and let her crawl all over us. Then we got to hold macaws! They were so pretty!

pure joy
We got to see ant eaters, white tailed deer, guinea pigs, capybaras, and even a sloth. The sloth kept reaching for me but I was too scared to hold it. It was an absolute blast. Today was so fun and such an amazing way to end this trip. We went out for one last dinner before heading back to the hotel to get some rest before our long travel day tomorrow. I had the best sushi of my life. I will never forget this trip and I am inspired more than ever to continue traveling the world. There truly is so much to see!
