Coral Beach Hotel San Pedro

... the island made it. It was pretty, and I believed him.. and then proceeded to see it at every jewelry stand on the island. Don´t think Ted let me live it down. ¨Oh, do you think they have your one of a kind bracelet here, Sue?¨ ¨How about here?¨ Shoulda throttled him. Hung out at this restaurant where they had picnic tables in the ocean, which was a new and pretty cool experience. See, I told you we didn´t have much to write about. E for effort, right ...

... to wait for our breakfast. Fried eggs, beans, avocado, and bread. Perfect. I also had some grapefruit juice that was delicious. After renting one bike, and me sitting on the top with Mike driving, we got some postcards and stamps, and make reservations to go snorkeling in the afternoon.

... now, got pretty drunk on the free punch that the boat was giving out.  So much so, that one lady was unable to get off the boat when we docked at her hotel.  Another lay on the bow, in her swimming costume, on her back whilst waving her legs in the air and singing.  Not a pretty site.  Especially when her husband went to lie on top of her. Today we catch a ferry to Caye Caulker, another island, which has a reputation as a quieter, more chilled-out place.

... make the mistake of ordering Pina coladas (here they are in the style of a frozen margarita, not a patch on the ones in Mexico which were so fresh and creamy) and these are quickly declared as the most disgusting drink we've ever tasted, I think the pineapple juice is off. There's only one way to down these and it's a quick game of paper, scissor, rock, the loser having to slurp. Feeling ill we stagger back to our room to pack so we're ready for our 7.30am start in the morning.

... staying in the middle or south sections unless you want to party. They seem to have nicer accommodations and are quieter. We decided to go back to Rasta Pasta for happy hour. Several rum drinks later each, we were feeling pretty good and returned to our room to wait for Habanero's, the best restaurant on the island, to open for dinner. Luckily, our hotel had a pay-per-view available to watch (they had evidently ...

... from the boat. San Pedro is slightly bigger than in Caye Caulker and probably much livelier, but there were too many cars around. I´m glad we stayed in Caye Caulker. The second dive site (Tackle box) was 5 mins´ boat ride from San Pedro. Upon entering the water, we were immediately surrounded by 8 full-size nurse sharks! A shark sucker was also lurking around us. Afraid that it would attach itself to me, I tried to swat it like a fly until it went to somebody else.

... International because it needs a lot of work. But Frank and I were talking about what we would do to it. Hmmm. Need some investors. We also saw a four-casita property on the lagoon side south of town. Price was right and the property itself has potential, but the location - at the end of a long, windy, bumpy-as-hell road through a sketchy neighborhood - crossed it off our list. The three of us had lunch at ...

... overhang where you see 5 metre long stalagmites and stalactites. It's eerie down there man cos it's quite dark and the only marine life you really see is big shark silhouettes that look like the ones from Jaws! I got a bit of nitrogen narcosis at the bottom but nothing too dangerous and I didn't actually realise it had happened til I surfaced. It's when you get a similar effect to being drunk because of being down so ...

... as much as in the United States. Highlights from this part of the trip include scuba diving, my four lobster tail dinner, and hanging with a kindred traveler named Scott (i.e. Scooterlicious). He was just started his round-the-world trip too. From Belize I took of for Florida for my sisters wedding. After an extended chat with customs, and driving around lost for a while, I made it to my sister's new house. The ...
