The second part of our journey was the Ambergris Caye. It was beautiful, just like the photos you'd imagine to see in a travel magazine. Except we really didn't take too many photos, we were too busy actually enjoying ourselves!
We had an awesome time snorkeling for the first time ever. As newbies, we didn't take photos. But everyone else on the trip did, and it was mildly entertaining watching them swim like fish to catch the best photo. My husband says the sunburn on my back looked like a pirate's face, ha! I'll keep the evidence to myself though, I don't want you to remember me like that.

I spent a lot of time in the water, while mountain man preferred to see the view from under a coconut tree. My Dad gave me the appreciation to “touch the ocean every day” when we’re at the beach. I gladly did so, despite how ridiculously sun burnt I kept getting.
While it didn't dampen our spirits at all, we both got a touch of the travelers sickness. Nausea, etc. killed our appetites, so I can’t really attest to the food. Although we did enjoy some really great El Salvadorian food with our neighboring honeymooners out in the “city.” (It took ten minutes to walk around the main part of the city, but I suppose it is still a city.) We also enjoyed some delicious, authentically native chocolate milk/shake too!
On the way back to the international airport, I got to sit in the copilot seat!! Check out this view! & I'm glad the nausea definitely went away for this part of the trip. The seat belt is like a spider strapping you in, and of course the pilot asked me to not touch anything. Really? I don't want to die either buddy, promise. :)
If you’re looking for a vacation with adventure and relaxation, it exists! It’s in Belize.
