Going to Tobacco Cayes off the coastline of Belize Cit

2. Where is Belize?

3. Where is the Tobacco Cayes?

5. A 45 minute boat ride takes us to a 5 acre island
called the Tobacco Cayes.

6. We unload our bags from the boat
and head to our cabanas.

7. Usually, the electricity stays on for about 4 hours a day. There is a
back up solar generator that the night time fans use through the
night.

8. It was in the lower 90’s and no air conditioning, but just fans.
My bed felt clammy and moist and had a few little black bugs.

9. Hot shower….what is that? We are happy to get the
toilets to flush. We were warned not to drink the water
from the faucets.

10. There were palm trees everywhere with lots of coconuts. Be
careful standing under the trees.

11. Coconut and coconut milk

12. Coconut milk is clear and the fresh
coconut feels wet and slimy.

13. Where is the barrier reef?

14. Heaps of conch shells everywhere!

15. I wonder what is living in them?

16. Conches and other debris

17. A huge row of conches

19. A typical local house and debris from palm trees

20. Here comes a crab.

21. A crab explores out of this shell.

22. Hermit crab peeks out of this shell.

23. Looking under a pier for sea creatures.

24. This boy is filleting a jack fish he caught.
Have you ever had to do this?

25. What’s for dinner?

26. Lots of snapper for dinner…is he staring at me?

27. We were suppose to go night snorkeling using a flashlight, but
storms are getting ready to roll in.

28. Storm rolling in.

29. After dinner we go exploring. We find a dock and look down into
the water and find this Monterey eel looking at us.

30. Monterey eel stares up from under a rock.

31. He didn’t tell me his name.

32. See the leg of the octopus making
its way out of this conch.

33. Here he slides!

34. Makes a run for it.

35. Headed for the water.

36. Enjoying the beautiful sunset

37. Curious what nightlife is like in an ocean. Night
snorkeling was called off, so I guess that is for the next
time.
