Roatan, Honduras

Francois Leave a comment

Roatan is an island of Honduras in the Caribbean Sea. It is the largest of the islands of the Department of Islas de Bahia, and it measures approximately 60 kilometres long for less than 8 kilometres wide in its widest. Its capital is Coxen Hole, in the South-West of the island.

Tips

Roatan is a destination of choice for lovers of diving because it has the second reef in importance, after the great barrier reef in Australia. Apparently, 90% of marine life of Caribbean is there, so keep your eyes open wide to see the multitude of sea turtles, rays and moray eels.
For the epicureans this destination includes many highly reputed restaurants of fish and sea fruits.

 

Kathmandu, Nepal

Kathmandu is the political and religious capital of Nepal which is also the largest city and the chief town of the district of the same name. The first inhabitants of Kathmandu were Newar and spoke nepâlbhâsa which is widely spoken among the different ethnic communities residing in Kathmandu.

Tips

Nepal’s capital is surrounded by a valley full of historic sites, ancient temples, shrines, and fascinating villages. Mingle with locals and animals amid Durbar Square’s monuments, or join mountain trekkers in the bustling Thamel District. Explore shops for exquisite work by local artisans—carpets and paper prints are specialties.

Thank you to my friend Franck for these pictures is his comment: “here is a few pictures that hardly represent what we have experienced on the first 24 hours in Kathmandu.”
