When we got back to the ship, I realized I’d forgotten to take the elevator picture. In the elevator, they have these panels in the carpet to let you know what day it is. I think it’s easy to lose track while you are at sea, and that the floor of the elevator is the best place to let people know. Here’s a shot I took at dinner. I noticed that we were passing...
We had a little time to kill in the port before getting on the line for the tenders back to the ship. Deb decided we all needed a beer. Here, she gives the “thumbs up” to Belikin. Locals in the market trying to score a few bucks. We wandered in and out of some souvenir shops. I scored a refrigerator magnet to contribute to the collection for Routeman Dan. Carol declared she was not...
Tour operators decided to give us a wild ride through the mangrove islands, taking hair-raising turns and bumping along. We theme park fans instinctively raised our arms to the sky in order to enjoy maximum air time. The clouds were still gathering and darkening the closer we got to Belize city. Safely on shore, we take the “goodbye” photo with our tour operators. What a fun day we had! The rain turned out to...
As we sped away from Caye Caulker, this is what we were speeding into. I wasn’t liking the prospect of being in a little speed boat, or even in the larger tender, during THAT. Was hoping it would either blow away, or else we’d be back on the ship before it started.
The rendezvous spot was near the Caye Caulker Police Station. There was a second-floor open air seating restaurant nearby where we saw Carol, who called down to tell us what shop Deb and Barbara had disappeared into. Deb put on this pirate cap and for the first time since I’ve known her, I saw a very strong resemblance between Austin and his mom! I think maybe every time I see Austin, he’s wearing a...
I know that agave is not the same as weed, but this medallion on this shop sign sort of makes it look like contraband! In reality, agave looks nothing like marijuana, but it IS medicinal!
I thought this was pretty funny. I bet their DSL is faster than what we’ve got on the ship! Isn’t “Pancho’s Villas” a cute name for a hotel?
While Linda and I stayed behind to finish our drinks, Deb and Barbara went ahead toward the rendezvous with the rest of the tour group, to see if there were any more souvenir shops down that way. Linda and I ambled back along the main drag and found this club for sale. I commented that if this club were in the US, we wouldn’t go anywhere near it – it looks like a complete...
