We arrived in Belize City Fri July 4th...Find out our Tropic flight is a 5 seat plane(my friends wife was not to sure she wanted on this plane)but it was really a great flight...Went straight to Moncho's (another story) & get golf carts..Checked in at Mata Rocks where we met Gail M who was staying at BB but was at The Squirrell's Nest..Had a Great dinner at Jamel Jerk... Saturday..., Went to the North end as far as we could on carts, then had lunch at Sweet Basils,great,.Had long conversation with owners, they are really nice people....Then just messed around town & back to MataRocks For some R&R in the pool...Sunday..Rode around just sight-seeing for a while then to BC's for the "don't want to miss" Bar-B-Que..Got to see our Island favorite bartender , Carlo(he is great) Went back to MataRocks And that is when the Rains came..Wow, did it rain!!!!Finally let up enough to go to Tropica(big mistake, but it was close) for dinner...Monday..Was booked to go fishing with Luis but his boat was having problems so we went snorkling with Reef Seekers, Glass bottom boat...Wow ..They are terrific....Had lunch at Elvie's (My wife loved it)...Went carting around and met Cris outside Casa Piaso(sp).Really enjoyed talking with him and really am sorry we never got back to his restaurant.. Tuesday...Luis was still having problems with his boat so we went fishing with Bobby from Ramones....Great trip..We caught plenty fish & went to a little hut up by (or maybe past) Mexico Rocks..Boy can he cook!!!!Great meal....
Then we went snorkling & then fished some more....Wednesday...Decided to go snorkling again on the Reef Seeker..Linda(my lovely wife) is not a great swimmer so she has never snorkeled.Mercedes convinced her he could teach her to snorkle &got her to try....This was her highlite of the trip...She is so proud she did it....Mercedes & his son Victor are heros in her mind!!! Dinner was at our FAVORITE, Papi's....
I havn't eaten at all the restaurants on AC but I can honestly say Papi's is the best I've ever eaten at!!!!Thursday>>>>Time to make a decision..
Do we stay & take a chance on Claudette turning or do we fly to the Mainland....OK we made the wrong decision but I'd rather be safe than sorry,
anyway Moncho's recalled all their golfcarts Thursday morning (without refund ,I might add)so off to Belize City we go ...Hotel for the night was $170.US for the night..OUCH...I was not impressed with Belize City so we will just leave it at that.....All in all to sum it up,We are already making plans for another trip back...
