San Pedro, Belize days 3

6-10-09 (Catching up on posts guys) After breakfast the next morning we had to stop at the market. The colors of the fruits and vegetables were to irresistible to pass up. So we scouted it out as the vendors continued to prepare their stalls. I decided to get some mangoes for the road...they smelled delish. Jenn pulled driving duty this time around as we headed to Belize City to make it to the water taxi to San Pedro on Ambergris Caye. The drive was just as interesting as we saw kids walking to school along the road and of course the scenery fantastic. We dropped off the rental at the airport and grabbed a taxi from a really friendly local named Leon. He said we had to see his uncle who was a scuba/snorkeling instructor. We made to port, had some ice cream, and jumped on the water taxi. It was hot sitting on the taxi for 1.30 hours...to San Pedro....people didn't care though. Everybody from locals to tourists were smiling anticipating all the fun times on the beach..so were we.
We finally made it to San Pedro took a taxi to the Banana Beach Resort...there was no way we could hoof it with our luggage. The hotel was fantastic! Kitchen, two bedrooms, living area...right in front of the pool. We had to get some food and refreshments...we ate nearby and celebrated our arrival with Pantyrippers (coconut rum and pineapple) and Belikin. We walked along the beach towards the town center where we were initially dropped off. The resorts were fantastic and we already picked out the next place we wanted to stay when we came back...we checked out some shops, bought jewelry, gifts. Some definite chill time was called for so we picked some One Barrel rum, pineapple juice, got into our suits and chilled out by the pool. There were a few kids from Colorado playing around in the pool...I say kids, but they were actually twentysomethings...but they were acting like kids. And they were dissing Texas. We did not like. But we were too chill to make a big deal.
It was time to eat...again. We took a walk after getting ready, this time along the street, hoping we could score a great meal. We did. Pepper Onis Pizza...and the buffalo wings were fantastic! Yes the wings...the pizza was good...but the wings. I'm salivating now just thinking about it. We had good conversation and great times thinking about the last time we were out in Belize. Tiredness quickly set in once we finished the meal and we had a long walk back. Luckily we had a really nice American expatriate living and working in Belize give us a ride in her golf cart. She owns one of the bars in town and very friendly, sweet., and invited us over a complementary drink. Yessss! Tomorrow...snorkeling and a free drink!
