Hotel del Rio San Pedro

I'm here in Caye Caulker for one more day. I have to tell you, it's been really nice to have my own bathroom, air conditioning, and television. I've just been chilling out, since the weather has been bad. I'm diving "shark alley" tomorrow up by San Pedro. It's in the ...

... some anagrams, saw a couple toucans, an otter and a parrot. Played a bit with a dog that can find his way back on a six mile hike. In general it was fun. Then yesterday we left finca tatin, went to livingston, from livingston to puerto barrio in guatemala, puerto barrio to punta gorda in belize, and then flew from punta gorda to belize city, and then belize city here to San Pedro in ...

... on toast (which i have really missed as no baked beans over here, not that i eat them much in england but for some reason really crave them when traveling) and had christmas cake we'd bought in a shop. in eve went off to meet dave and carol an older english couple we'd met and had a nice dinner at the secret garden restaurant. think we were in bed by 10pm, we were shattered. boxing day helen and james came round to ours and as it rained again, pretty much did the ...

The two things that I will remember most from our time in Caye Caulker are our escapades diving the Blue Hole and the ferocious tropical storms that kept us awake for hours through the night. Having been cooked an enormous traditional Belizean breakfast at Lana´s- scrambled egg with ham, tomatoes and onion, Johnny cakes and refried beans- we left Tobacco Caye on the 9am boat back to Dangriga. Ian and I were the sole passengers on board, and thankfully we were spared a repeat ...

... dogs. The rain gave us the opportunity to tour the island and calmly assert all of the dogs into submission, even the fierce dog employed to guard our little seaside cabana. Anyway, that is about it. On to Guatemala! Oh yeah, we will get more pictures posted again after we have toured Tikal. Like wolfe said, there aren't too many, but will give you a idea of what the island was like, etc. I'm really done now. Facher out.

Caught the ferry out to Caye Caulker and arrived at the Hotel my friends were staying in. I checked out some dive centres and booked my trip to the Blue Hole the next day. Caye Caulker had a good feel, there were many travelllers here and lots of reasonably cheap places to eat. I spent the afternoon sitting by the sea waiting for my friends. Because there were 4 of us the room was only $6/night, a bargin After going out for some food i got back to the room and there ...

... to eat my slice of potato. Upon our return to Costa Maya (back at the other end of the island), we found we still had to wait for the other room, so it was back out in the rain for us. We found a cheap internet place not in any of the books at Taj's, then stopped in at Caribbean Colors for a cup of mocha (quite tasty) and a slice of key lime pie from next door. The key lime pie was a creamy yellow color, which I'd never seen before, but it was definitely lime ...

Hi all Well i am now in San Pedro, Belize. San Pedro is an island off Ambergis Caye, in the caribean. By the way, for this week i have a travel friend, Nikki. Nikki is a friend from college and during my trip she decided to join me, so here she is. I got to Belize on Sunday morning after spending a fabulous time with my family in El salvador. El Salvador was absolutely a blast and beautiful. For one, my aunt and uncle treated ...

... so we paid the $10 BZ toll (can you imagine!) and headed over. Someone lied to us about that and the road was pretty gnarly. We were also instructed to go to the Rum and Cigar shop for some 'supplies' so off we went to find that. This shop was definately a very plesant surprise. Not only did it have rums of all shapes, sizes and flavors but it also had a room full of cigars! They smelt so good. As we entered the shop we were offered a shot of coffee infused rum ...

... Hmmm, this is probably going to be a late night. Around 8:30 we heard the obligatory playing of the Belizean national anthem, followed by - no kidding - the Cuban national anthem. Turns out we live next to a bunch of Cuban doctors and they invited every compatriot in Belize to celebrate the arrival of 2006 with them. (Again, no kidding. Our landlord actually told us this later, and she's not prone to exaggeration.) Just when we thought it couldn't get any better ...
