last night in Belize







Our last night in Belize we took a sunset sail. In hindsight, I think the hot tub would have been preferred, but you never know if you don't try. The boat departed at 4:3oish with fifteen passengers.



The boat was older and the captain was surly. Right away, we both realized that this had been a mistake. Still, we were committed and so I drank rum punch and took photos.
Amazing, right?
The sail was supposed to be done by 7:15ish. The Captain had become more talkative and relinquished some of his responsibilities to this new guy. Well, he had some difficulty in staying the course and so we returned at 7:40. Dark and anxious to shower and return to Habanero's, I rushed to the dock and ran back to the hotel. The bathroom on the boat was uninviting--no light and cramped space. I thought about urinating off of the boat but didn't want to offend Shari. Regardless, after the sail, we walked, briskly, to our favorite restaurant and had another lovely meal. We shared an appetizer and an entree. When we entered the establishment, Shari asked the owner if he had chocolate yet. His response--no.
After the meal, they presented us with a snicker's bar that they had cut up and decorated with sprinkles and syrup. Funny.
Yes, Belize was an excellent choice for the five year anniversary. Food was delicious and the diving memorable. I wish we could have stayed longer. Next trip, I suppose...
