Horseback riding

Utila day 2

More Utila (day 2)

Pumpkin Hill Utila

We took a tour of the island (part of it anyway) via horseback and got some pretty incredible sea views. I highly recommend!

Atop pumpkin hill tower

Julia and I did this crazy thing - We climbed to the top of the tower on pumpkin hill. We got 360° views of the island. I almost did not do it. Entering a skinny tower and climbing, when you are afraid of heights, is not the best and most exciting thing in the world.However, our guide convinced me to follow Julia up, saying that he would be right behind me so I couldn't fall. So I conquered my fears, and made it to the top. I have to admit it was a pretty incredible view, and it does feel good having conquered my fear at least on this occasion.

Sea views in Utila

Views of the sea from the place where we stayed. Good relaxing spot!

Licuados (smoothies)

The best strawberry smoothie (water based) that I've had in a while came from a restaurant called Che Pancho in Utila. Yummy!
