Coral Reef Villas San Pedro

... painted orange and blue - go blue, go vols!). It was right on the ocean and had a little sand courtyard with hammocks, couches, and palm trees. Sharing a full bed didnīt sound remotely appealing, so we opted for a dorm. Nine bucks a bed. We then decided to explore the island, which was tiny. It only has about 1,000 people and 3 main roads: Front, Middle, and Back Streets. Really. At last, a town I canīt get lost in! The beach is sandy and the turquoise ...

So today was another nice day in paridise, at least 30 degrees sunny and a cool breeze. We went diving today to a place calleed the blue hole it is a 130 min boat ride we arrived and were the only boat there which is surprising since this is supposed to be one of the best dive spots in the world, but then I remembered it was only 6:30 in the freaken morning. We suited up and down ...

... to do some snorkelling, and see if we could find some manattees (also called sea cows, or dugongs).  But when the boat turned up, it was full of loud, middle-aged Americans.  And I had a splitting headache.  It made for an immensely tricky morning.  The Americans kept coming out with lines that I can only think they considered to be jokes.  My fake laugh got quite a work out.   What was good, were the manattees.  There were quite a few and they are ...

... no tenian ke ir muy lejos a pescar solamente al lado de su casa o al lado de la carretera podrian tomar los peces ke kisieran. Era domingo cuando llegamos a Belize city y no habia ninguna accion alrededor. Las calles con huecos y basura estaban desoladas y al ver las casas en tan mal estado y uno que otro niņo por ahi encondiciones de pobreza te da una sensacion de tristeza y de inmediato te llega la pregunta a tu cabeza, por ...

The Tropical Backpackers Paradise that is the Belizean Island of Caye Caulker Heading away from Belize City the ocean started to resemble a slightly more turquoise appearance and the many remote lush green cayes we passed were beautiful. The ocean wasn't what the taxi driver had described as 'smooth' and we bumped along hitting some waves which felt like concrete slabs at times giving you a pretty sore 'ass' to say the least! Our ...

... in our tanks and cause others to come up early. I still had 1000 PSI and Erinn had 700 when we began our ascent. We were the first group to get back into the boat. It was pitching side to side worse than when we had exited. Erinn got sick and I started getting queasy. We also weren't ready for just how dried out we would be after getting back out of the water due to having the salt water all over our faces and the dryness from having breathed tank ...

... wait in anticipation to see what was presented before you. We ended up with more lobster but it was done to perfection and cost us a fraction of what our valentine meal had cost us. A completely different eating experience, but would def recommend it to anyone who plans on visiting this place. Before arriving on the island, Charlotte had read about a three day sailing trip leaving from Caye Calker and heading south towards Placencia. Placencia was the town we needed to catch ...

... was pretty distraught about it. The only thing the owner told him was that he was too happy. He said there had been rumors that he was a drug user, but he insisted he wasn't. At this point the rain had passed and we felt it was time to move on. The next day, talking to Collette about how everyone knows everyone and you can't always believe what you hear, she mentioned a guy who claims he went to Harvard, Yale and Julliard. Floyd. Whatever the truth is, he seemed like a nice guy. I wish him well.

... ended up in the small lake side town of San Pedro. San Pedro is known for their rock bottom prices, bohemia scene, and marijuana, which is the local cash crop. A hotel is as cheap as $4.00 a night, and a large steak dinner costs about the same. I signed up for Spanish lessons, found another great hostel, and made it home for five days. The town has a few roads, but mostly just had dirt sidewalks that crisscrossed ...

... it is a little more lively that Cozumel because of it. And our room there had a KING size bed!! wahoo! I couldn't begin to tell you the name of the place we stayed at, because it was sort of a weird situation, but hey, it was clean and had a king size bed that didn't have springs jabbing us in the back all night. John and I were in heaven! Mind you, when the construction started at 8am the next morning in the room above us, we were none too impressed. Thank god ...
