AMBERGRIS CAYE -BELIZE

6/23/2015

How often have you just wanted to fly away to a remote island and disappear if only for a week. I was invited to such an escape to ambergris caye, Belize. 

When you land in Belize city, it seems as though you  have already been disconnected from reality but a short cab ride to a canal side restaurant bar, awaits your boat to the island.  A little less than an hour of warm breezes and watching all the passing  islands, you arrive at your very own Gilligans island, aptly named Captain Morgans Resort. 



If you are on the bottom floors and out on your deck in the mornings, you will often be greeted on a gentlemen on a bike with a cooler strapped to the back.  Please be sure to wave him over and have a few dollars available for a great hot breakfast burrito. After you have finished your belize take out breakfast and have gone for a walk or bike ride down the beach, look out for the local fisherman at the dock.  

The local fisherman would come to the dock most everyday with fresh catch.  One day we were fortunate to get a several pounds of grouper fillets and 3 lobster tails for about 15 US dollars.  The resort has grills facing the ocean, so needless to say it was a great afternoon filled with great seafood and a several cold libations.

The best way to get around the island is by golf cart, and those who know me, its my favorite way to travel.  About 3 miles down the dusty, sandy dirt road, you end up at the famous Palapa bar and grill.  Its a thatched hut bar and grill that jets out over the ocean.  It not only has amazing ocean breezes and view of the fish below, but you can float in inner tubes while having a cold beverage.
