Seaspray Hotel Placencia

... might be our last chance. The Yankees game was on and I made the fatal mistake of pointing it out so we could watch it while eating. Bec I´m nice and knew Ted would want to, even though he´s blind and wouldn´t´ve noticed it if I hadn´t mentioned it. Unfortch, that meant that we were going to watch it for two hours after eating as well.. on MUTE. I made some futile attempts to tell Teddy that this would be akin to me making him watch Twilight in Chinese. Already awful ...

... bread, cocoa yam frittas, soy nuts, fish, shrimp and vegetable stir fry! A veritable feast !! And after we’d eaten as much as we could (which was a LOT cause it all tasted soooooo good!!!) We took home the left over frittas, tortillas, a loaf of corn bread and 7 cookies and 7 muffins!!!! All in all a pretty awesome end to a pretty awesome day (and standing up in a kitchen all avo was perfect for my sunburn nb) I’m writing this kneeling by my bed on a ...

... the same feel as Caye Caulker - it was more expensive and didnt have as many backpackers but i was making this detour to see the whalesharks. I had almost seen them in The Seychelles but the one afternoon i didnt dive was when they were seen The next day i found a dive shop and booked 2 dives for the following day and the whaleshark dive for Thursday. It was cheap ($160US for 2 dives) but Placencia is one place you can dive with them and not just snorkel ...

... exactly what I could see in the tiny bit of moonlight that made it through the canopy and had ceased glancing around at every sound. Twenty minutes after that, I had started seeing exactly how much I could move my body without making a noise or moving my feet from where they'd sunk in the mud. Then we heard a roar from somewhere overhead to our left. This had just gotten interesting again. It all went silent for a few more minutes (or as silent as the jungle gets), and ...

... in our bodies. This was just enough time to swim beneath an overhang laden with 40ft long stalactites whilst sharks circled beside us in the dim eerie light. Probably coupled with some effects of the narcosis this was an out of this world, out of body experience. The highlight of the trip so far and possibly of my lifetime. Followed by two further dives on spectacularly colourful coral reefs which for me ranked as the best I'd done in the ...

... a todo el mundo con mas calma dentro de un par de dias. Internet en este hotel es exasperadamente lento, asi que no os voy a torturar con mas fotos hasta que me vaya al proximo hotel. Por fin solo tarde 3 horas y media en llegar a Placencia desde San Ignacio. Tuve la suerte de que no tuve que esperar para hacer los 2 transbordos, ya que coincidio que justo cuando llegaba se iba el siguiente autobus. Estoy como a 15 minutos de Placencia ...

... definitely wasn´t our favorite place so far. What we liked: - The beach in Placencia was beautiful and long - The snorkelling and reefs nearby were great (especially Hol Chan) - Some towns (Caye Caulker and Placencia) were very cute - The people were very friendly. - The tap water in Placencia comes from a nearby spring-well thing. Finally we could rinse our toothbrushes under tap water without fear! Oddly, the tap water in Caye ...
