Hello Fellas,

It’s been a bit of time since we have been motivated to blog. Not for lack of adventures, but for lack of time and effort in keeping up with all we get to do.

We are on a cruise with a chartered group that started in Miami and traveled to Belize and then Cozumel. Teagan and I were on this same cruise last year and although the Belize portion sounds great, the port isn’t quite established and the surrounding area lacks adventures. Last year we opted to take a Cave Tube adventure, and although entertaining, it wasn’t the adventure we were looking for. So this year it became a goal to see what else Belize has to offer. The commercials about how exotic and surreal Belize is must surely have some sort of ground. Teagan went to the internet and found a YouTube video of a cruiser who took a domestic puddle jumper plane across to another island in under 15 mins. The cost wasn’t too bad either. We were able to negotiate a bit at the cruise port and secure a flight out on the hour with a return flight just in time (with a bit of spare time just in case) to return to the cruise port upon departure! The domestic flight was a small 13 seater that allowed us to see great views of the area and explore San Pedro Island. (Yep like the Madonna song San Pedro).

So I’m running out of time to complete this blog right now.. until later

Teagan here- we got to San Pedro after an amazing little plane ride. Walked off the plane and headed down to walk the beach. The beach of San Pedro is lined with little beach bars, coffee shops and restaurants. We picked up a cold brew and stroller around, appreciating this adorable little island and all it had to offer. We chatted with our local barista and inquired about the best place the locals like to eat. She let us know about El Fagon a authentic Belizean restaurant a few blocks away. After our beach walk we casually made our way there. We sat at a table for 2 in the tiny restaurant with a sand floor and a large fire pit hearth with fresh stews roasting. I choose the seafood creole on the servers recommendation, SD opted for the special fried chicken. Haha. Holy shit-both were unreal and unBelizably affordable. We were feeling full and happy and decided to continue our beach stroll. As we made our way from the restaurant we heard the local school bell ring and tons of adorably happy little Belizean children in school uniforms ran from the docks, streets and beach to end their school day. It was the cutest thing and brought a smile to our face as they ran by us waving and giving peace signs.

After another beach stroll we headed back to the tiny San Pedro airport to catch our flight back to the mainland. Our flight back was just as beautiful as the way there. We boarded our ship feeling as though we had cracked the Belizean cruise code: Do not stay on the mainland while cruising to Belize….go catch a quick flight to San Pedro via Mayan Island Air or similar. It costs around $75 and is better than any excursion you can book through the cruise line. We can’t wait to go back.

Photos coming soon…
