Hey World,
We're going to be back in the US of A in less than a month to start our wedding celebrations....which meant it was finally time to book our honeymoon.
We'd been looking at Belize for a while as it seems to have an insane amount of all-inclusive packages, as well as adventure-y things to do, some tropical weather, and beaches along the coast to boot...so we finally said YES and booked our tickets!
The trouble then was figuring out how to maximize our five days of vacation in order to hike a little, cave a little, relax a little, and then our two requests: swim a little (Brady), zipline a little (me).
So this is what we* decided:
Tuesday:
--> Arrive in Belize City @ 11:00AM
--> Hop on the next water taxi to San Pedro (Ambergris Caye)
--> Fun in the sun on the small island while staying at a small beachfront hotel

Wednesday:
--> Half day snorkeling trip to Hol Chan & Shark Ray Alley to see nurse sharks, turtles & sting rays
--> Water taxi back to Belize City
--> Get picked up and head 2 hours inland to our eco-resort (which has amazing TripAdvisor reviews)!
--> Get settled in

Thursday:
--> Adventure #1 day trip (we're thinking temples & canoeing)
GUYS THERE ARE TOUCANS! image source
Friday:
--> Adventure #2 day trip (we're thinking going to see the ATM caves + ziplining)

Saturday:
--> Spend the morning at Table Rock resort doing on-site activities (or visit the infinity pool via canoe at a nearby resort!)
--> Head back to Houston in the afternoon
If you've been to Belize/Ambergris Caye and have any recommendations on places to eat on San Pedro, we'd love to know!
xoxo,
M

Ahhh Belize is wonderful! Lamanai is a great archeological site about an hour from Belize City. You can climb up the temples and the entry fee is relatively inexpensive. I did not spend a lot of time in Belize City, but definitely take advantage of the delicious Pringles flavors there!
