| Subject: | [Roatan] The Definitive List of Things to Do On Roatan |
Hi Everyone, I'm creating the end all to be all, definitive "Things to Do On and Around Roatan" list to be posted on the website later this week. Many of us have been there and know of untold treasured moments. Here's a few to start it off: 1. Buy a head of cabbage and go visit Sherman Arch and his family a little before noon. Sherman has acres of land and is trying to protect the iguanas and restore their ranks on the island. His place is a bit East of French Harbour. When Sherman or one of his family starts to chop the cabbage with a machete, at least 20 and often more iguanas come out of the trees and bush. Have him point out Big Red. They'll come right up to you. If anyone isn't paying attention in your party, sneak around and grab the back of their leg about iguana height. For a special treat, bring a couple of watermelons too, one for Sherman's kids and one for the iguanas. The critters really like those. Have a look in his hatchery at the little ones. Put a little money in the donation box for iguana chow. Sherman is a great guy to talk to. 2. Hike to the top of Carambola Gardens. There's a great view and many interesting plants. 3. Go to the Garifuna village, Punta Gorda, and have fried chicken at The Chicken Shack (I think that's the name, but I don't remember a sign). Ask around about getting a drink of Gifiti, sometimes called "The Medicine of Love." It's made of alcohol, roots and herbs. Reported to be an aphrodisiac, it tasted a little of garlic when I had it and was definitely an experience. Anyone else? Steve | |
