Jetty, Roatán

Jetty, Roatán

So, there was me, thinking that this ramshackle, ricketty jetty (pier) was looking very picturesque.

What I hadn't fully noticed was how ricketty it actually was, and also slick with rain from a recent shower.

In lining up my photo, I stepped back, and put my left leg through a gap in the planking.

Result: one left leg covered in bumps and scrapes, a sore bum from where I fell backwards, and a badly bruised ego....

be careful out there!
