Our vacation during the Adventure!

Our Belize vacation has been so much fun! I can't believe how long I have gone without posting.. So this will be a long update of our week! Also Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! :)

Our stay here has been between two places. Coral Bay Villas -- which we stayed the first 5 days. It was amazing. There are pictures of it in my last post. We had bikes when we stayed there and checked out our second place during that stay.. Our second place is way closer to town and a completely different feel from our first. The first place was a relaxing oasis -- and once we realized we would not be getting that same feel  at the second -- we took full advantage of living at the pool. We made it our goal to stay there as much as possible and hold off on all excursions until we were at the second place.

The second place Seven Seas is still beachfront but not as nice as the first. It is more an apartment style feel here and surrounded by nightlife. Our first day here Taylor, my mom and I all went snorkeling at the reef and then shark n ray alley. The snorkeling was pretty good and filled with many colorful fish. Shark n Ray alley was quite incredible! There were tons of sharks and HUGE stingrays. We got to touch the stingrays which was cool.

My favorite place so far has been a bar called Palapas. You get to sit in inner tubes in the ocean and they send beer down in a bucket of ice! It is so fun! The food is really good too. They were rated # 1 of 26 bar and grills on the island. They have fried bacon that is UH-MAY-ZING! Heaven in your mouth!

I am just skipping around here but at our first place we had bikes so we spent a lot of time riding around the island. One side of the island meets the Caribbean sea and the other side meets a lagoon that is filled with crocodiles.

We have fulfilled pretty much everything on Taylor and I's to do list except scuba diving.. Neither of us are certified and neither of us wanted to spend the money or time to get certified so snorkeling made up for it instead.

The night before thanksgiving Taylor and I went out to a bar called Wet Willeys. I won't go into details of the night but it was a lot of fun and I definitely paid the price the next day. They really do party late here because Tay and I stayed out until 3am! crazy! It was also the last time of this trip that I will drink so much. From here on I will stick to maybe a beer or two here and there but a break is definitely happening!

As fun as I am having here I am itching to be back in adventure mode. I bought the Steve Jobs autobiography on audiobook to listen to for all the bus rides I have to come. I have already started listening (sorry Tay)  and it is SO good. I look forward to every minute of it! Best part is its 25 hours and 6 mins long! :)

I love the water here!

The watch dog.

At our favorite bar. We have gone multiple times!

The best coconut water to have! <3 

Captian Morgan Retreat

Today my dad and I are taking a 4 hour bus ride to Punta Gorda for the night and then a ferry ride to Puerto Barriers, Guatemala -- followed by a bus ride to Le Ceiba and a flight to the Roatan! I am pretty stoked for it all. All my google searches on the Bay Islands have had me pumped about finally getting there..


So our bus ride to Punta Gorda today took 6 hours.. We are now staying the night and have ferry at 9:30 am.
