The view from our deck.
Wow!! What a great week. We took the water taxi from Corozal on Monday morning to San Pedro on Ambergris Caye. It's a nice boat ride...about an hour and a half. We went by two islands that Leonardo DiCaprio owns. Pretty nice if you like that sort of thing...private tropical islands!
We spent six nights at the Costa Maya Resort. It's located about seven miles up the island...a little too far from town but it was very quiet and beautiful. We rented a golf cart for the week. It's the preferred method for getting around the island. They are more 'sturdy' than an average golf cart. Good thing, because the roads suck!! Ambergris Caye lacks polish but that's exactly what we love about it!
Adam booked a scuba dive (his first in three years) and Judi, Duane, and I went snorkelling. It was great. I don't think anything beats Belize for underwater life. The barrier reef is incredible. We swam with rays, sharks, turtles, eels, baracudas and more fish than I will ever know the names of. It is such a treasure! I can hardly believe that we live less than two hours away from it.
Another morning, we swam off the end of the pier at the hotel. Just after we got out of the water, four dolphins swam in and played around for a bit. Wow!
All and all a very good week. We took the water taxi back to Corozal this afternoon. After only a month, this has the distinct feeling of home. That's nice. Judi and Duane are here for another week. So, we are planning to spend a bit of time in Corozal and then we are heading to Cayo and maybe Placencia. Wherever the whim takes us!
