Belize – Day 1

Travel days are necessary evils if you like to travel. They are long, frustrating and very taxing and tiring. But until we can transport people from place to place like they did in Star Trek, there is no other alternative.

After a long travel day, we finally ended up at our resort, Captain Morgan’s. To get there, we flew directly from DIA to Belize City. Once in Belize City, we took a cab to the ferry terminal that would take us over to Ambergris Caye. Then we had to get our golf cart and drive to our resort, at the northern part of the caye. By the time we arrived, the people at the reception area were just about ready to lock up for the evening, but we made it in time and got settled into our home away from home for the week. We had a nice, comfortable little studio apartment. Our unit was where the golf carts are parked, right on the first floor.

After getting settled in, we went to the restaurant. We always like to check out all the local varieties of ceviche when we travel to tropical places, and the front desk told us we could get some at the restaurant. It wasn’t on the menu, however, the chef prepared us some delicious shrimp and octopus ceviche that hit the spot perfectly, especially when served alongside the complimentary rum punch.

At was a long day, but we made it, safe and sound. Now, let the adventures begin. 🙂
