Ocean Pearle Royale Hotel Caye Caulker

... swam off when we entered the water. Again, really hot and the sun is strong! The water is warm, and the breeze is a temporary relief. The Lazy Lizard bar at the Split is the place to be, but be warned there are swarms of hungry mosquitoes at sunset. I could imagine that when tourist season is in full swing, it could be a little crazy. I ate lobster four nights in a row!—three nights at Fran's Beachside Grill! Well worth the 25BZD ($12.50 USD ...

... reef instead. Although the colors weren´t as vivid as in Cozumel, and the fish were a bit smaller, it was still a great dive. The coral was arranged, as they described it, in ´fingers´´ -- think of laying out your hand with the fingers being coral reefs, and the space between your fingers being little canyons, with a sandy bottom, to explore. We also saw barracuda and a rather large lobster. The company and the divemaster we went with were great, and it ...

... go to Mexico (my favourite place outside of Thailand) <br><br>www.sanchezjalapeno.com should be up in a few days. First 100 viewers get to be awesome.<br><br>Milli says:<br>As we left Flores and went to the mainland some Guatemalans were letting of firecrackers. Seems they were happy to see us go. I did notice earlier but forgot to mention that most street signs in the country are dates. Like 28 de Junio. Would not like to live on 29th Feb! Ha. <br><br>We went passed ...

... of regage music) and lovely. <br><br>And so tomorrow we leave the island. We will be sad to go - life here is very chilled, and the sea breeze does help out with the heat (which - in the height of the day - can become unbearable). Still... onwards to Tikal and another border crossing tomorrow!<br><br>Ian M - many happy returns of the day. Hope you've had a lovely birthday. <br><br>Much love<br><br>D&amp;K<br><br>Ps. There are mozzies here. They are very annoying. <br><br><br>

... With that taken care, went to the office for our snorkeling trip. <br><br>At the first stop, the sun was almost out of the clouds. We got in the water and withing two minutes saw a manatee! It came over to us, swam between us, circled back and went underneath us. Awesome!! <br><br>Our next stop was a bonus freebie stop where a local fisherman was throwing back the remains of last nights lobster and conch shells. We saw a turtle there, but more impressive was the dozen or so giant ...

... were guided though which was a bit annoying as everyone elses flippers are in your face, but it was good as we saw so much more than if you go on your own. Again, the weather wasn't too kind to us and although Paul was convinced it was warm, I was soo cold and didn't go in on the last snorkel! He must have much warmer blood than me! Was a really good trip though and a hot shower was much appreciated after!

... and she made us feel all at ease as she told us of the plans for the day. With 8 of us onboard our little boat skimmed across the water it wasn't the most comfortable ride and it was a relief when we reached our first stop Shark Alley. Vanessa gave us a quick safety briefing and then asked us why were we still on the boat get in the water! An incredible scene greeted you as you got your mask set and peered into the underworld. All around were big tuna like fish and ...

Getting to Belize was a bit of an adventure. The 7am morning ferry crossing was thankfully smooth as glass. A taxi to the wrong bus terminal didn't help but soon we were on route to Puerto Cortes but missed the last ferry to ...

After the volcanoes and ruins in Guatamala, it was time to catch my breath and get in some beach time in Caye Caulker, a laid back island about 1 hour by boat from Belize City. The first day I went on a snorkelling tour around the island, and it really was the best snorkelling I have ever done. At the first site there were dozens of ...

... an olympic event. One thing that is absolute genius is the theme tune for the news on the radio. They use Dallas!! From Belize city Steve said his tear stricken goodbyes and I caught a bus down to Placencia in the south. As the bus trundled out of the bus station it stopped for an old rasta man but the driver refused to let him on the bus. An argument prevailed climaxing when the rasta man put a brick through the bus window and then done a runner ...
