We have plenty of time in the morning ;-)))) and the owner of our B&B picks us up half an hour before the plane leaves (!). We arrive at the airport. What do you think Captain G and W? Plane for max 10 people.
I LOVE small planes. What is this, a Cessna Caravan?
I am sorry to say: no big stories: Dr T did not puke (he checked out the puking back the minute we got on the plane). No chickens on board. I could not help thinking, if the pilot would have a heart attack, Tomcat and me would be the best people to fly and land this plane. There is no co-pilot and at least we can read some of the displays: altitude, fuel flow, oil pressure, propeller, vertical speed, the frequencies, ... . And we know how to say 'mayday'. But, then again, we would struggle to decide who is going to be pilot and co-pilot, ..
The flight takes 14 minutes and after landing on Ambergris Cay, we walk to our hotel, where they have the good news:
We do not have our ocean view (ok)
We have twin beds for the night (almost ok)
We can change tomorrow to ocean view but still twin beds: NOT ok
What do you do?
The next best is twice the price. We would like to stay a couple of more days but not if we sleep at the other side of the room. Wait and see, we go diving tomorrow.
The city is cute, the transport is ... golf carts for tourists or locals.
