Ambergris Caye, Belize
February - March 2013
When we were offered 2 weeks free accommodation on this beautiful island surrounded by Caribbean waters we could not resist. We had heard so much about Ambergris Caye and were super excited to be visiting.
With only a small town and minimal food supplies there is not much to do, but soak in the sun in a state of permanent relaxation. Anything there is to do we tried to do, so enjoy!

Hol Chan Marine Reserve, Shark Ray Alley & Caye Caulker - It's Easy to be SEAduced by Belize
Ambergris Caye, Belize
I am petrified of sharks. I come from the land down under where the Great Whites plunder (rap not intended).

I breathe deeply, throw caution to the wind and plunge into the cool depths of the Caribbean awaiting my destiny. Join us for our day with SEAduced on their Catamaran to Caye Caulker.

Where in the World is San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, Belize?
Ambergris Caye, Belize
It occurs to me that perhaps a lot of people do not know anything about where we currently are. That what you have heard of Belize is the mainland and a city rife with crime where no one should ever be staying. Or perhaps you have never heard of it at all?
