Belize

Belexit

April 28, 2024April 28, 2024 Steve 1 Comment Belize, Travelling

Our flight home was scheduled for 11:00. Taking the water taxi back would have required getting up for the 6:30 a.m. water taxi. We decided to fly back to Belize City instead. The Tropic Air propeller plane held about 15 passengers and the pilot. We think the passenger in the co-pilot’s seat above was put […]

Kareem’s

April 28, 2024April 28, 2024 Steve Belize, Food, Sunset

Kareem’s barbecue is ranked the #5 restaurant on Caye Caulker by TripAdvisor. He has a few grills set up just before The Split. It is pretty good, or as they say on Kareem’s sign, “unbelizeable,” and not expensive. A few random shots:

On/In the Water with the Caveman

April 28, 2024April 28, 2024 Steve Belize, Boating, Point of Interest

We had planned our snorkeling adventure with Caveman Tours (Caveman pictured above) on Tuesday. Tuesday and Wednesday had winds of 21 and 24 knots respectively. We opted for waiting until a calmer day. Our first stop was to feed the Tarpons. Next we were lucky enough to see a manatee. They can stay underwater for […]

Jans Hotel

April 27, 2024April 27, 2024 Steve 2 Comments Belize, Lodging

Jan’s Hotel was simple, but nice. There was a bed, table, chairs, mini-fridge, and bathroom. The water pressure was great. They had water to refill your water bottles. And they had a golf cart to take us to the airport. Looking north and south early in the morning.

Stingrays

April 27, 2024April 27, 2024 Steve 1 Comment Beach, Belize, Point of Interest

The Iguana Reef Inn is probably the most luxurious resort on the island. It’s very nice, but not sure I’d call it luxury. There were a lot of Brits there. Every day at 4:00, they feed the stingrays. They also through fish into the air, and pelicans swoop down.

Western Sunset at Maggie’s

April 27, 2024April 27, 2024 Steve Belize, Food, Sunset

Not surprisingly, the best places to see sunsets are on the Western shore. There are plenty of restaurants. This night we chose Maggie’s. When we arrived, all of the picnic tables on the deck had been taken. We were seated in the back. The owner asked us why we were there, to which we replied […]

Bliss Beach

April 27, 2024April 27, 2024 Steve 1 Comment Beach, Belize, Food

We were supposed to go snorkeling on this day. There were 21 knot winds, so we chose to push it out. Instead we went to Bliss beach on the north Island. I’d read about it somewhere so we headed out to The Split (the northern tip of the south island). We got tickets and Harry […]

Ice n Beans

April 27, 2024April 27, 2024 Steve Beach, Belize, Food

We made our first stop of the day at Ice n Beans, a nearby Coffee, smoothie, ice cream, and various breakfast kinds of food. We were greeted with a shot of iced coffee when we entered. It was here that we met Thomas, a retired Swedish teacher, who became our first travel friend. Look closely […]
