Port of Call Belize, day 4 on board


Goff's Caye This island is only 1.2 square miles. It sites in the middle of the ocean. Think Gilligan's Island! Today was Aryn's first day of snorkeling off the boat. The water was about 15 feet deep but it was rough. She was a trooper and was one of the first ones to jump off the boat! Andrew and Alyssa choose to stay on the island and play in the sand. Belize in and island that you have tender from. Many of the island do not have piers or terminals. I have included a photo of a boat tendering. So you basically walk a plank/walkway about 8 feet above the water onto a smaller boat.

Aryn Found this shell in the water. We put it back. It was still alive

After a fun day on the island we tendered into Belize city. Not a lot to see or do there. So tried the beer .... looked around

Belize Beer!


At the pharmacies you can buy meds. I guess it is a good deal if you don't have insurance or don't want to see a doctor. The water in Belize was beautiful, the island was beautiful. When you are pulling into port there are tons of little islands that pop up out of the water all over the place. Makes for beautiful photos!
