Going to My Dentist on Ambergris Caye: Beach Pics

Okay, okay, OKAY!  I know that technically I am the SANPEDROscoop and some of you just want to see and hear Ambergris Caye.  Fried chicken in Belize City?  Art in Placencia?  Pffft.

I guess it makes some sense.  Ambergris Caye was, after all, just named TRIPADVISOR’S Travelers Choice BEST ISLAND IN THE WORLD.  For the 2nd year in a row.

So let me show you what it’s like to travel to a dentist appointment in the great place on earth.

My dentist is located about 4 miles north of town, just south of Las Terrazas Resort, so I need to hop on the Coastal Express Water Taxi.

IMG_9017We made a few stops at some resorts (sometimes to drop off a kid coming home from school or just someone’s lunch) and, then, at the packed Palapa Bar.

My boat dropped me off at my dentist’s residence/rental home Blue Dolphin to continue on north.

I passed under the buoy tree and the little “parking lot”…

I’ve been going to Dr. Mark since I first arrived in San Pedro – introduced by some friends of mine.  There are actually quite a few dentists in San Pedro to choose from…but this is about pictures not useful information!

But I will add that I have no cavities.  Phew.

IMG_9026Apparently you only need to floss the day before you go to the dentist.  Woo hoo!

I finished my exam, the dental assistant made the remaining patients margaritas and fresh coconut waters and we waited for the boat.
