Obligatory airport departure shot

Obligatory airport departure shot

Obligatory airport departure shot On the Cessna from Belize City to San Pedro Departing Belize City for San Pedro in our little Cessna Definitely the smallest plane in which we have flown Quick stop to drop off a passenger on Caye Caulker, Ambergris Caye's quiet little brother island Arriving on Ambergris Caye Baggage Claim Carribbean Style I love rotisserie chicken! back porch at Ali Babba's chicken shack Ut oh, golf cart traffic jam! A view of the heart of San Pedro The pool at Paradise Villas where we rented a small 1BR condo She's a cutie! This ripped dude with dreads climbs coconut trees and harvests the nuts Sadly, San Pedro doesn't offer the quiet relaxation we were hoping for. Workers spent an afternoon cutting up this coconut tree with a chain saw right behind our condo. It was cloudy and cold our first two days. Here we can see rain off in the distance. Fish of the day Belizean style at Mickey's. Salty and delicious. Chillaxing on our balcony Michale has pretty eyes Sleep gets first priority on vacation San Pedro school band gets their stuff together. I didn't notice all the desks on the roof until reviewing this photo later Sushi at the Hummingbird Cafe Yum! The bridge dividing the nothern and southern sections of Ambergris Caye We went up to Legend's Burgers on the north end We went up to Legend's Burgers on the north end Dumping dust off a roof well past sunset This is the official slogan of the islands. No shirt, no shoes, no problem! On the water taxi to Caye Caulker, the chiller island to the south Water taxi captain has a CU hat. Go Buffs! A local explains to a tourist that Caye Caulker is "Go Slow Island". "Go Slow" is engraved in porcelain on the dock when you arrive. Arriving at Caye Caulker. We loved the Sexy-Chicken boat. Caye Caulker's main hang: the Lazy Lizard. A sunny place for shady people. Hippie boat docked in The Split of Caye Caulker This is basically what Caye Caulker is about Rust holes in the roof of the Lazy Lizard Michale's favorite meal of the trip. Creole Shrimp and a chicken burrito which also seemed to have seafood surprise included The burnt out building with the beautiful pastel stairs caught my eye Getting ready for kite boarding Michale gets some banana bread from the guy with the bike cart This dog knows how things go on Caye Caulker I think this kid might have misinterpretted the notion of building a sand castle Wild Mango's, reputed to be the best restaurant in San Pedro. Sadly we made a poor choice when ordering. Michale relieves some sunburn with a cucumber Pelicans chilling behind Wet Willy's restaurant out on the dock One of the two main streets in San Pedro, as seen from our golf cart Iguana sunning himself on Ambergris Caye We drove our golf cart as far north as you are allowed to drive them then walked up and found a patch of beach to relax for an afternoon Whipping up a scramble Our boat trip up the Belize Old River Tapir is the national animal of Belize This ocelot (?) made some cool growling noises in front of us for a while Sunset grill for a fancy yummy dinner Sunset grill for a fancy yummy dinner This was creepy. In the water right next to our table at the restaurant was a huge swarm of what I initially thought were nurse sharks. Upon further examination it turned out to be big tarpon that I guess get scraps from the restaurant. They were circling ominously and would chase if you made a throwing motion. Check out those creepy eyes in the flash! Our kitchenette. Stove burners require the stove to be pulled out from the wall and the gas pipe to be banged upon Living room of our condo View out our window Air drying stuff on our balcony Michale paints her nails in the hammock The only time I exploited the "No shirt, no shoes, no problem" rule (cloudy day) Water taxi to Belize City It's a long ride. The captain drove most of it with his knee.
