We are staying at the Inn of Last Resort which is a place of rest for divers as Honduras is one of the top dive spots in the world. Tourism is the main source of revenue for the locals as the two attractions are the diving and a port on the other side of island where cruise ships stop and visit. The economics swing on a broad pendulum as the locals appear to be very affluent or very poor. Houses are built over a five year period as the interest rate is 38%. You save up money to build a foundation and walls in year one. Then add on from there. But with the natural vegetation and the surrounding water it is a beautiful place with smiles abound from everyone, including our monkey friends who like to hold hands and the football.
