Lily's Hotel San Pedro

... read a whole book start to finish. That´s a great feeling. That was followed by a whole lot of nothing. Eating, sunbathing, swimming, and more reading. As we were walking down the street today, some guy told Teddy he had a ¨beautiful wife.¨ I tried to tell him that he should really treat his wife better and maybe take her out to a fancy lobster dinner. Let´s just say he´s not gonna win husband of the year. We finally caught the sunset, and saw an eagle ...

... us with no luck. They were a kick. The landlord Tom asked "You didn't try it more than twice did you?" But of course we tried more like 20 times! He said he had only one safe key and he wasn't sure if was for ours or another one. As luck would have it it was ours!!! Yea beer money!! We went in on a case (which became 2) of beer from the distributor with our neighbors. Made more new friends eating shrimp on a stick at Jacks. It's easy to ...

... the rain had started and after sitting on the porch outside my room to watch the clouds roll into land at a furious pace, I decided my bed was a much nicer place to be than sitting out in the rain. I didn't fall back to sleep, though... just needed to rest up a bit more and bide some time until it was a more decent hour to venture outside. Not everyone is up and open for business at 7am to accomodate people like me. :-)

... area between Caye Caulker and its undeveloped neighbour to the South. The split was only 10m wide so we swam across and found ourselves in a forest of mangroves and marshy terrain that housed more crabs than I have ever seen, living in all varieties of shells. We also saw some neat colours of lizards and a few birds. Unfortunately we also saw a lot of garbage in the ¨nature reserve¨, which was a shame. However, at least that part ...

... Reef is a large, almost perfectly circular hole approximately 100m across. Inside this hole the water is 145 m deep and it is the depth of water which gives the deep blue color. It use to be a cave where the ceiling collapsed.The array of huge (19m) stalactites and limestone formations which mould its walls seem to become more intricate and intense the deeper one dives. We dived down to 43 meters examine these ...

... manger mais j etais pas pret a leur donner, en tout cas pas un bout de moi. Pas de quoi s'inquieter, ils sont innofensifs. Ensuite plusieurs autres tout au long de la plongee avec des gros Merous et Snappers, des araignees de mer enormes (1 seule pensee, les attrapper pour les manger), langoustes et plein d'autres choses et surtout un recif en bien meilleure forme qu'a Akumal. Comme quoi quand c'est bien protege, surtout de la peche, eh bien ca marche.

... of a sketchy neighborhood. Good thing we don't scare easily! He returned promptly and we hit the Western Highway out to our tour. Donald was great to talk to. He was excited about the UDP winning the election the day before. We really didn't know much about Belizean politics and it was nice to hear some positive reactions. We saw many cars, trucks and buses coming into Belize City from the countryside filled with jubilant campesinos ...

... to do this dive as it´s a 42m dive and we were only qualified to dive 18m. Well our parents will be pleased to hear that we decided just to snorkel this site, despite much pressure from some pushy Belizean dive instructors. It was still a great experience though as when the divers came up a load of sharks followed them and we got to swim around with them for a ...

... babies...in the states driving a car and working in a bar, my exposure to crying infants and babies is very low but now I'm so used to it I could have a sleepover at the children's burn ward.... Ambergris is a cool island but its more for vacation then backpacking..the upside is banks, and nightclubs...I hung around for awhile but I had heard Caye Caulker, the island next door was way better...and after a dip in the water and some rum punches I was on my way....
