So the 2nd week in December, we went on a Cruise, on the Norwegian Spirit. We left out of New Orleans, and went to Costa Maya (where we just shopped a little bit), Belize (we went on a river boat tour, then to some Mayan ruins), Honduras (we went snorkeling and sea kayaking) and Cozumel (where we just shopped a little bit). We had a great time, and it was super relaxing, we spent a lot of time on the sundeck just reading...maybe a little napping. On to the pictures.
In Belize, we went on this river tour and ruin trip. We got off the ship, it was pouring, took a 15 minute boat ride to the port, then another 15 minute boat ride to the mouth of the river. The trip up the river was awesome. We got to see lots of wildlife (in the picture is a group of howler monkeys), and had a great tour guide who taught us about the culture and history of the country. Then we had a local lunch, and on to a bus to take us to Altun Ha. It was misting a little bit when we got there, but not too badly. We walked around the grounds for a while and even got to climb to the top of this ruin.
In Honduras, we went on a snorkel/ kayak tour. The snorkeling was probably some of the best that we have seen. Lots of coral, and tons of colorful fish. The only downside was that since it was in a cove off the ocean, there were quite a bit of waves, so we definitely worked off some of the calories from the ship. We had lunch there, and then went on a Kayak trip to another cove. The guides then showed us some of the local fauna, and even picked fresh coconuts for us. No pictures, but we were on Roatan, West End. The tour was run out of the SeaBreeze Inn, and we had lunch at the Cannibal Cafe (food was fantastic), and they offer the same tour to people saying at the inn.
When we finally made it back to New Orleans, we decided to walk around the French Quarter, instead of sitting at the airport. We had beignets at Cafe Beignets, and looked at all of the neat architecture.
