Our second long weekend we went to a tiny village on the coast. TJ went with the boys to go rafting first on friday night, and he had a great time. He stayed in the jungle lodge and went rafting on the Rio Cangrejal.
The next days we all met up at small hotel called Helen's, pretty much in the middle of nowhere. The place was owned by a French Canadian who ended up being from the same area in Quebec as my grandparents (Lac St. Jean). We stayed in a little cabin with our friend Jess, and it was VERY relaxing. The first day, we just swam in the ocean, walked along the beach and ate some great food (Conch soup was my favourite).
The second day we went on a day trip to Cayos Cochinos, which is a series of small islands off the coast. After an hour long, very bumpy boat ride, we got to the main island, where we went snorkelling. The snorkelling was pretty awesome, but not quite as clear as Utila. Kelsey and her sister (who was visiting for the week) even saw a sea turtle!
After snorkelling we went to another island where the only pink snake lives. We saw two of the pink boas, although, they were more tan coloured than pink…..
Our last stop was to a small island where we ate lunch. It was really pretty, and we also learned that one of the seasons of Survivor was filmed on the Cayos Cochinos islands.
The next day we were supposed to go ziplining, but it was a bit rainy, so that will have to wait for next time! Overall a great trip!
