Belize Day #4

Today, we are heading to the Blue Hole.  This is a 1000 ft circular sink hold in the middle of the ocean.  It is approximately  400 ft deep, with silt covering the last 200 ft.  We waited at 5:30 on Ruby's dock to go to Blue Hole with Amigos del Mar dive shop.  Coffee, OJ, fruit and cakes for breakfast on the boat.  2.5 hrs to dive site...feeling queasy, there were a couple pukers, but I held tough.    Dolphins swimming and playing alongside boat on the way out  Blue hole.  Upon descent into the Blue Hole Jes had trouble with clearing her ears, but toughed it out.  We saw stalactites at 130-140 ft and reef sharks on ascent.  We Boated over to Half Moon Caye for dive #2....big ol' turtle was the highlight. 

Over to the Caye for lunch and red-footed boobie spotting. Chicken, rice, coconut pie and fruit was served. Off to 'Aquarium' dive site for dive #3. Jes was bored, hungry and her ankles hurt so she surfaced early. Not enough turtles and dolphins for her liking. The ride back included coconut rum, pineapple juice, fresh fruit and coconut and more nausea. We stayed at the back in the fresh air and got soaked. We landed, did our logs, got our bags from Ruby's, checked into Lily's. Ruby's only had vacancy the first 2 nights we were in San Pedro.  Went to a bit of a touristy restaurant (Caramba) for supper and drinks. We had the sopa de lima soup as a starter (delicious), jerk chicken with rice and beans for me, chicken fajitas with a side of veggies for Jes. One Barrel rum and cokes for Jes, Beliken for me...we got smashed. Followed that up with cookies, water, 2 Red Stripes and 1 Smirnoff cooler from a local convenience (that started over the pricing mid-stroke to change the prices to tourist prices...3.50 for cookies, 7.50 for the cooler became 4.00 and 8.00). We paid it anyway, drank them on our seaside balcony and went to bed early.
