The little pier where we landed and left the boat had just been completed the week prior. There was this cute little tourist trap with all sorts of stores there. Since I had no idea what we were going to be doing for the day - I wore my bathing suit and clothes that could easily dry.
The first thing we did is ask where a local place to eat was. There was a little tiny hut where the locals that worked at the tourist trap would eat. Omar got his favorite - Baliadas. It was for sure the cheapest food we could eat. We got 6 baliadas and a soda for $3. Of course Omar returned later that day to eat more baliadas before boarding the ship. 
There was a place for ziplining and Omar decided that we should do that. I have always wanted to do that through the rainforest/jungle anyhow so we did. There were over 11 different sections and it was a lot of fun. 
The video is sideways, but you get the point.
The shops had some beautiful mahogony peices, but they were very expensive. When we go back to Honduras to Santa Barbara I want to see if I can find some good peices for cheaper. 
Ziplining took a lot of our time. We only had about 2 hours left. We were going to go downtown but the taxis wanted us to pay $50 ONE way! They were out of their minds. We started walking toward town and a taxi pulled up to use and told us he would take us for $5 one way. He stayed with us the whole time and we gave him $20 - he was a very nice guy. Omar wanted to give him $50 becuase he felt bad for him, but I had to squash that idea. The downtown was not too exciting though.
A local carniceria (butcher). We did buy some dried beans for Omar's mom - we got a pound and a half for $1. That is all the cash we had left. 
I wish we would have had time to go to the beach. The water looked heavenly. 
This beach was free to go to. If you wanted to take the little ski lift to get there it was $5. We never made it over to the beach.
