Mata Rocks hotel
San Pedro, Belize.
no blog for yesterday, was too tired at the end of the day for it. Woke up to really bad weather on Sunday morning, and it was pretty evident that our catamaran/snorkel trip to Mexico rocks would be cancelled. The sea was just way too rough. Of course, 2 hours later (after the trip was cancelled) the sky cleared up. We decided to golf cart to the south end of the island, about 5 miles, to see the new resorts that are being built. Stopped at the crocodile landing, where the locals used to feed the crocs in the evening, but there was no one around. had a yummy lunch at the Sandbox, and then headed back north.
The power was out again - this time front street was closed to pedestrian traffic for most of the day. San Pedro has three main streets. Front (sea side), Middle (ummm.. the middle street) and Back street (lagoon side). With Front street closed, we cruised the other two looking for shopping or anything else exciting, but it was a bust. Came back to the hotel to swim and nap and finally had dinner at Rico's at Banyan Bay.
Today we were up early (again) to go bonefishing in the flats. I've wanted to do sport fishing for a long time, and havent really had a chance, so it was a real treat. It was so much fun. We didnt catch a lot - maybe a dozen, but each one was fun to land. I even managed somehow to catch a conch. He was HUGE, and would have made a delicious lunch, but conch is only in season in February, so back to the sea he went. Saw a bunch of man o'wars in the water on the way back - they're so pretty. too bad they'll kill your life. There was also a couple of dolphins near our hotel. VERY cool to see.
Lunched at George's kitchen. Usually we're only here for breakfast, but its the last day and I had to get my fry jacks fix on, so it was an easy choice. Finished up souvenir shopping, which suprisingly was very light this time. After we got back to the hotel I CRASHED hard and slept for about 2 hours. I've been super tired on this trip. Not sure if its from the heat, or if being away from work makes me relaxed enough to actually sleep like normal people should.
Dinner at Hidden treasures again. So good. shrimp and lobster ceviche, pineapple bbq ribs and coconut pie. I'm definitely going to miss the food here.
flying all day tomorrow...no fun.
