Interesting documentary produced by the Society for the Exploration and Preservation of Honduras - The Search For Ciudad Blanca and Quetzalcoatl: The Documentary. (SEPH): "Discover the Rio Platano Biosphere in Search of Ciudad Blanca" English/Spanish, DVD, VHS
Once a haven for pirates, 67 sleepy islands and cays off the Honduras mainland
are now a budding ecotourism destination. The clear, warm waters are home
to every fish species found in the Caribbean, as well as most hard corals,
gorgonians and sponges. Renowned for wall diving, the region also boasts
several wrecks, shallow reefs and fascinating blue-water sites. Visitors
can swim with dolphins, while lucky divers may spot a passing whale shark.
This book describes 74 of the best dive sites, with full-color photos throughout.
First we had the computer game. Now we have the real thing. That fact is
stranger than fiction can find no better example than in the life and times
of Anne Jennings Brown, which are chronicled in her book Roatanne Odyssey.
This tells the story of a real-life Lara Croft-figure who is now in her
70s and living in Hamstead Marshall from the time she met and married a
veteran Texan war pilot and adventurer, and went to live with him on an
uninhabited corner of a remote Honduran island. From then on, the book is
packed full of almost picaresque action and adventure. There is the time
they go treasure hunting in an Ecuadorian jungle, for instance, surmounting
no end of dangerous situations, any one of which would see off lesser mortals.
Then there are drugs, smugglers, murder and other mayhem, not to mention
all the ghostly goings-on of Caribbean pirates. Despite it all, Anne always
manages a long skirt for dinner. It may sound strange and it is but, for
a self-published book, indeed for any book, this is an exciting tale engagingly
told with lashings of self-deprecating black humour. Beautifully illustrated
by the author's own maps, pen drawings and photographs (a few more of the
latter would have been nice for the curious, though), I can't wait for a
sequel. Or even a film adaptatation. Croft, eat your computer-generated
heart out. --Newbury Weekly News
