Tobacco Caye

One of the fun things about Tobacco Caye is the bird watching and snorkeling that can be done right there. The pictures include a shot of the Reefs End Lodge "club house" , where meals are served, the bar is located and tables for playing cards, games etc in between meals. The deck is a great place for watching birds and sea life. Also, is a snapshot of one of the "cabanas" that we occupied while there. The last shows a couple of pelicans who came around every night. Unfortunately the picture is dark and does not do justice to them; but, the sea birds were magnificent to watch as were the four giant sting rays that visited every evening.

Another Trip to Lamanai

The first two pictures are of the High Temple, with the second giving a bit of perspective regarding the height. We all climbed up to the top. My younger grandson made it about 3/4s of the way the first day, but decided he was going all the way the next day. As a result, I got to make 2 trips up to the top during this last visit. A great workout! The last picture is of a dead snake found by the boys. Rest assured that you would not be seeing this picture if the snake had still been alive, as I would never have gotten this close to a live snake.

More Xunantunich and Spanish Lookout

The top picture is an overview of Xunantunich which I visited again with my family. The second picture show Rudolfo, our guide during horse backing riding to and from Xunantunich and at the site. He was knowledgeable and generally great to chat with. The next shot is a picture of the horses that we rode. The bottom picture is a car and pedestrian ferry used at Spanish Lookout ( a Mennonite community near St Ignacio) which is similar to the ferry used at Xunantunich - totally manually driven. The operator only allowed the driver in the car during the ride and all passengers had to exit and walk on, ride and walk off the ferry.
