Snapshots from this Week – TRAVEL and Gorgeous Chaa Creek in Cayo

My week has been amazing so far.  Traveling out from San Pedro to San Ignacio – from sea to jungle in Belize.

Johnny Cake on the boat to Belize City.

With the cultural melting pot that is Belize on the bus.

Heaven.

Here are some IPhone pictures that I took at Chaa Creek – mostly on Instagram.  I thought I’d share them before I went into da bush.

The pool.

I have now taken a serious step down in the luxury department but I’m at a LOVELY and cheap Guest House in San Ignacio.

I am off to buy my food and water for my overnight stay in the Chiquibul…sleeping in hammock and hopefully seeing some scarlet macaws.  I figure I need to carb load for this trip.  First stop?  The Ice Cream Shoppe in San Ignacio.

Oh…and I’m sure another trip to the Guava Limb Cafe…the food is too delicious.

* LeBron is not actually in Belize, these are pictures he posted to Instagram from a trip to Hawaii.  But….sigh…it’s fun pretending.
