San Pedro, Belize

Welcome to Belize- keep walking. We landed in Belize City but took a boat to our destination- San Pedro in the Ambergris Caye (pronounced "key") known as the Isla Bonita. It's to the north. Check out that map on the right.



Stopping at stop signs are optional here. We took a frightening taxi ride to the boat terminal. Apparently, our "taxi" was a limo so we were taking the fancy car. But good thing, because taxis do not have air conditioning and the limo was refreshingly cool. It's strange to think that I needed A/C after being chilly at home.


The airport reminded me of Wilmington's old airport, one big room and the planes landed outside the door. We walked outside then inside. No jetways here. No automatic papert towels or sinks in the airport bathroom. Nice and simple. We took a bumpy bumpy boat ride for over an hour to the island and I surprisingly did not toss my cookies. Fortunately, Dawn, LaChawn and I were talking education policies the whole time to keep us occupied.


We got to the "Inn" but could not check in yet.
So we walked around and found a cheapy lunch spot for beans and rice. We will try again there for breakfast tomorrow.
