mobile, alabama

Departure: 15:30

Mobile is the county seat of Mobile County, Alabama. As of the 2010 United States Census, 195,111 people lived within the city limits, making it the third most populous city in Alabama, the most populous in Mobile County, and the largest municipality on the Gulf Coast between New Orleans, Louisiana, and St. Petersburg, Florida. Alabama’s only saltwater port, Mobile is located at the head of Mobile Bay on the north-central Gulf Coast. The Port of Mobile has always played a key role in the city’s economic health, beginning with its early role as a key trading center between the French and Native Americans and continuing today as the 12th-largest port in the United States. Mobile is the principal city of the Mobile Metropolitan Statistical Area, a region of 412,992 residents composed solely of Mobile County; it is the third-largest metropolitan statistical area in Alabama. Mobile is also the largest city in the Mobile–Daphne–Fairhope combined statistical area, which has a total population of 604,726, the second largest in the state. As of 2011, 1,262,907 people live within a 60-mile (100 km) radius of Mobile. Mobile began as the first capital of colonial French Louisiana in 1702. During its first 100 years, Mobile was successively a colony of France, Britain, and Spain. Mobile became part of the United States in 1813, with the annexation of West Florida under President James Madison. In 1861 Alabama joined the Confederate States of America, which surrendered in 1865. As one of the Gulf Coast’s cultural centers, Mobile has several art museums, a symphony orchestra, a professional opera company, a professional ballet company, and a large concentration of historic architecture. Mobile is known for having the oldest organized Carnival celebrations in the United States. The festival began in the early 1700s, celebrated by the city’s first French Catholic colonial settlers. Mobile hosted the first formally organized Carnival mystic society—known elsewhere as a krewe—to celebrate with a parade in the United States, beginning in 1830. In 2005, the first integrated mystic society held a Mardi Gras parade in the city.

Day 4

roatan, honduras

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 17:00

Roatán, located between the islands of Utila and Guanaja, is the largest of Honduras’ Bay Islands. Formerly known as Ruatan and Rattan, the island is approximately 77 kilometers long and less than 8 kilometers wide at its widest point. It is divided into two municipalities: José Santos Guardiola in the east and Roatán in the west, which also includes the Cayos Cochinos further to the south. The most populous town on the island is Coxen Hole, capital of the municipality of Roatán, located on the southwest coast. The easternmost quarter of the island is separated by a mangrove channel; this section is called Helene (Santa Elena in Spanish). Satellite islands at the eastern end include Morat, Barbareta, and Pigeon Cay, while further west between French Harbour and Coxen Hole are several cays, such as Stamp Cay and Barefoot Cay. MAIN TOURIST ATTRACTIONS • Cameo Factory in Coxen Hole • Carambola Gardens • Caves of Helene • Dolphin show at Anthony’s Key Resort • East End – for a more adventurous experience, visit the east end of the island. This area is home to many locals and some expatriates, as well as a few resorts. One of the most notable is Camp Bay Beach, Beach Adventure Lodge, the only resort on Camp Bay Beach. Here you’ll also find the Tasty Tarpon restaurant and easy, free access to the beach for snorkeling, diving, and fly fishing. Along the way, consider stopping at Marble Hill Farms, known for its excellent local jams and jellies. Asylum Bar & Grill, set on a palapa literally over the calm waters of Camp Bay, can feel like the “restaurant at the end of the universe” after the long journey to get there. Santa Helena, part of Roatán’s municipality of Santos Guardiola, is a small, secluded island about 12 miles east of Roatán. This off‑the‑beaten‑path tropical paradise is roughly one mile by two miles and sparsely populated by indigenous people who still live much as they did in the “Old Caribbean,” largely untouched by tourism and commercial development. St. Helene is the epitome of a sleepy little fishing village, accessible only by private boat or passenger ferry from Oak Ridge. • Garifuna Village Tour in Punta Gorda • Iguana Farm near French Harbour • Mangrove Forest Kayak Tour at Camp Bay Beach Adventure Lodge • Marine Science Museum at Anthony’s Key Resort • Oak Ridge – a small village on the eastern end of the island. On arrival, you’ll be offered water‑taxi tours to the Hole‑in‑the‑Wall restaurant, nearby communities, and around the harbor, but it’s also pleasant just to stroll through the village, lined with brightly colored wooden houses on stilts along the shore. • Pigeon Cayes – two small, deserted islands • Punta Gorda – renting a scooter and driving to Punta Gorda takes about one hour each way, passing through beautiful countryside. It’s a good way to escape the more touristy areas and experience places that look and feel more like mainland Honduras. The town is friendly, and with a bit of luck you may happen upon a beach party. • Roatán Butterfly Garden • White’s Beach • Marine Park – this protected reef area stretches from West Bay to Sandy Bay. Snorkeling and diving are excellent ways to experience the rich marine life. You can head out by kayak or boat, or simply swim out from the shore.

Another site is near the village of El Cedral, inland from the "Carretera Costera Sur" highway. In Punta Sur Park, located at the southernmost point of the island, you can find the "El Caracol" temple, which is believed to have been used as a lighthouse by the Mayans.
