Go Slow
Go slow. An unofficial motto of the life here on this small island, and I do mean small. There are two main roads and you can traverse the whole town in about 15-20 minutes. It's of course very touristy here, but unlike in Tulum, this place has retained ...
A Little Overcast Today...taking it easy
... with pain and feels just like a permanent cramp there! Anyway, that pretty much was the end of my 5th lovely day here in Belize. I am relaxing now with my bandaged foot up and watching a movie, after a nice cool shower... Maybe if I feel ...
Ambergris Caye
... owners. Bill agreed to get up at 6 and take us across the bay in time to catch the 7 am ferry to San Pedro on the island of Ambergris Caye. It was extremely good of him to get up so early. Tom and I didn't make it up at 6 am. So we missed the ...
Great diving and now I'm heading north again.
Great diving this morning! Two dives in Hol Chan marine reserve. We saw several nurse sharks! Crazy! I almost touched one of them when he swam by. That's how close they were! We also saw a couple turtles and many ...
Swimming with the Sharks
What an experience we had today! We were picked up at the hotel dock and taken out to the barrier reef "Hol Chan Marine Reserve". We were a bit underwhelmed with the snorkling there (except for the big turtles). It didn't compare to the diversity we saw ...
"Stop walkin so fust mun, your'n Belize!"
Today we didn't do too much in the scheme of things. We pretty much just acquainted ourselves with our temporary home and sussed out some of the diving operations to see what dives we may want to do. In the afternoon we went to Palapas Bar ...
Caribbean style
... these blogs on Thursday or Friday after we do a snorkeling trip on wednesday. We have been chillen on cay caulker of the coast of belize. Many of the people are not that great, they seem to have a sense of entitlement, but the island is pretty cool. It's ...
Can you Belize it, mon?
... Blue Hole. In fairness, she didn't need to do much persuading. Its expensive, certainly, but lots of people come to Belize purely to do this one activity, and who knows when I'll be back around these parts again?! The funny thing is, the ...
Aussie Aussie Aussie
After yesterday's boredom we decided to leave Caye Caulker early and head back to San Pedro. We got straight off the boat and tried to book our next few days of diving. Out boat arrived in at about 11 and we immediately booked in for 2 ...
Belize - Hookers and Belikin beer
I slept in and left the hotel in Chetumal about 9am and took a taxi to the Mexico / Belize border for about 7 usd. Once I got to the border and cleared Belize Customs I took another taxi to the airport in Corazol for a short plane ride to San Pedro which ...
Ambergris, Belize YAY
... was outstanding, however, it seemed a little pricey. It seemed to be a bit more of a resort town. If anybody is heading to Ambergris look out for Waruguma, best lobster burritos ever! Also, a little frozen custard shop called ...
Laid back bliss
... speedboat ride and then find yourself on a tropical island. It makes it all worthwhile. The day we landed was one of Belize's major holidays, celebrating the arrival of the first Caribbean settlers. The whole country was in good spirits, but on "Key ...
Belize - Island Trip
... on this trip! After landing in Belize City, we took a little puddle jumper plane over to Ambergris Caye, the largest island off the coast of Belize. The mode of transportation there is golf cart and bicycles. Our condo doors opened onto ...
Eze in Belize
San Pedro the "capital" of Ambergris Caye has just three streets named: Front, Middle and Back street!! My week is jam packed with activities. Went snorkling with sharks and stingrays and lots of other colourful fishies, snorkled over the reef (atoll ...
Long Day Traveling
We got up at 3:30am to get our flight out of Portland. Got checked into our Hotel about 6pm (Central Time). No pictures as it was just about dark. We went to the restaurant next door and had a very good dinner and then went to ...
Fairwell Mexico
... boat transfer from Chetumal so that's exactly what we did! So today we arrived in the lovely town of San Pedro in Ambergris Cay Belize. This place has a very cool charm about it and we are staying here for 3 nights. After checking in we ...
Sun, Fun and Good times in San Pedro
... laid back, exciting place. Having only been to Mexico, this place was a amazing discovery of how nice people can be. I arrived in Belize City on Christmas morning after flying out of Seattle at 1am. I hopped on a plane from the municipal airport for ...
San Pedro - Days 4-6
The last few days have been quite overcast and rainy here in San Pedro, but the temps are still quite high (comparable to anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere, that is). The locals talk about a "cold front" coming down... to them that means the ...
BELICE
... de pagar 210 pesos al tornar a entrar a Mexic desde Belice!. Bueno, una vegada a Belice City vam agafar un ferry cap a Caye Caulkier, una illa caribenya plena de rastafaris. La veritat es que la impressio de la gent que mos vam emportar no va ser ...
Final Full Day Here on Beautiful Ambergris Island
Today I woke up early around 8:15 to profit as much as possible the last full day of vacation:) I went for a run on the beach again with this poor bruised foot (will show another pic soon)...wasn't a pretty run ...but did the job. I know I ...

I had to pee
Of course our first stop of the day was Rasta Man's. Not by choice, but it had become routine. It was just too hard to resist. He would chase us for 2 blocks if we did not stop. It was just easier to give in. Sue and Greg went Kayaking and ...
Worst Day Ever
I had a email from my son in Texas to call him. I knew before I called it was bad news. His father, my ex-husband, had passed away in an accident a few days earlier. I considered flying to Houston but he was surrounded by family and friends so I stayed. ...
Dive 54 - Hol Chan Zone A
This was a bit of a mixed day. The dive was good, the snorkelling was amazing, but the dive centre was not really what we are used to. They had let a guy come diving with us who had only done 1 dive on a Discover Scuba course. It was a ...
Last Day in Belizima Belize:( Back to Reality
Well, today is the day we had to go back to the Lone Star State. I am looking forward to it but also dreading what I will face when I return home. I am ready to get back to my friends and my apartment and see what is in store for me, but I am ...

Guatemala (Tikal & Lago Atitlan) & Belize & FL.
... . I highly recommended it if you are ever there. After a full day at Tikal, I headed to Belize for a couple of days. I stayed two nights on Caye Caulker and one in San Pedro (It seems there is a San Pedro in every country in Central ...
My First Snorkeling Experience
Today we had an amazing snorkeling adventure... I woke up around 7:30 this morning to run up stairs to our kitchen and made some coffee, fried eggs, and cheddar-strawberry jam toast(: Then we all hopped aboard a boat to go out into the sea ...
