Day 1

Well the first day in Belize was spent traveling to Belize. The flights were not bad just long and tiring. Once arriving in Belize City we had to go through customs and everything and catch our flight to San Pedro. So the flight from San Pedro was interesting because the plane was so small and the landing strip was very short, there was no rooms for errors. When flying on the puddle jumper we were able to see many of the islands and the beautiful blue water.





Once landing in San Pedro's airport, which is not the typical airport, we gathered our belongings and caught a cab to Pedro's Inn. On our cab ride over we were able to see some of the streets in San Pedro. The streets were very different from the US. There were few cars, some bikers, and many golf car riders. There are not any traffic lights 0r very many traffic signs. The cars move very fast down the streets which are sand and cobblestone in some places. There were quite a few pedestrians walking on the side of the road and many stray dogs accompying them. The children just come and go as they please which was very interesting to me because sometimes I could not figure out who the parents were.





So the place we are staying is called Pedro's Inn which has a very laid back atmoshpere. The rooms have two beds, one tv, a sink (not in the bath room) and a bath room in it. However, the cold water knob is acutally the hot water, but in our room neither knob got warm. Showering in cold water is not that bad especially when you are hot. Tolits down here are very interesting because you can not flush the tolit paper so this is an interesting aspect you have to get used to.



After dropping off our stuff we ventured around exploring the island of San Pedro. We ended up stopping for food. I quickly learned that there are not many vegaterian options and that they give you a lot of food. The first place we ate at was great.
