Today is our last full day here in Belize! It has been an amazing trip full of amazing adventures, culture and great people! I am sad to leave but ready to return to some loved ones :-) We had a great breakfast this morning at George's Kitchen to start out our day. Next, we got our gear prepared for a sail and snorkel day! We walked into town to the dock where we boarded a huge catamaran- it was awesome! They had bean bag chairs spread all across the front of the boat so (after some serious sunscreen application) we all got comfy for our sail! We sailed out for about an hour- the morning was beautiful! Finally, we arrived at the Barrier Reef at Hol Chan Marine Reserve where we geared up and began snorkeling! We broke into small groups of 8 or so people and a guide who pointed out various fish, sea turtles, nurse sharks, sting rays and moray eels! It lasted for about 40 minutes and it was so beautiful and awesome- I've never been snorkeling before! When we returned to the boat, we rode for another few more minutes until we arrived at the second spot, which is called Shark & Ray Alley. Before we got off the boat, the crew began throwing sardines into the water and a big group of good sized nurse sharks and stingrays were surrounding the back of the boat! We jumped in and were able to swim with them, which was really neat! Once we got back onto the boat, we were spoiled by the crew with drinks and shrimp ceviche! We sailed for about another 40 minutes to Caye
Caulker, where we went to lunch on the beach then walked around to the shops for a couple of hours before returning to the boat. The boat ride back lasted about an hour 45 minutes- it was so relaxing!
About an hour after returning, we met for our last group dinner at Caroline's. I had the jerk shrimp (spicy) and it was definitely spicy! Even the roasted rosemary potatoes and side salad could not help to balance out the heat but it was very good! After more shopping (I'm so over shopping!) we finally returned to our hotel... exhausted!
Back to the real world tomorrow!
