Today is the day I breathed out and felt the weight of the world leave my body. It happened whilst lying in a hammock looking out at the ocean at the end of our cabanas' private pontoon. And it feels so good.
Our flight this morning exceeded all expectations. Things got off to a good start when our taxi driver to the airport turned out to be a lot of fun and very proud to tell us a bit more about his country. The airline guy at the airport was equally friendly and chatty but then we've almost come to expect that now... the Belizeans are wonderful people.
We were two of the three passengers on our 7-seater aeroplane. And as we waited on the airstrip we were both practically jumping up and down with the anticipation. No 100ml liquid rules or security pat downs here, just a friendly 'hello' from the pilot and a 'would you mind popping your seatbelts on' ladies?' As we took off and soared through the skies to San Pedro, my impossibly big smile got even bigger. Awesome. Simply awesome. Anyone want to buy me a flying lesson for birthday?
Caye Ambergris was our first taste of this Caribbean paradise. We drank coffee in a beach bar as water lapped at the boats and thanked our lucky stars. Then we boarded the boat to the smaller Caye Caulker and made our way to Colindas Cabanas, our home for the next two nights.
People kept asking me if I thought I'd want to come home again after this trip. Hmmm...
*Happy sigh*
