Checking out the Construction at The Palapa Bar, Ambergris Caye

It’s like my blog is stuck on Replay, the needle’s skipping…yesterday was a gorgeous day on Ambergris Caye.  I gush…I KNOW!  But it’s really been spectacular.  And a perfect one to trot up to the Palapa Bar to check out a bit of construction work they are doing.

I started at the Coastal Xpress (the water taxi that brings you north from town)/Amigos Del Mar  (the dive shop) dock and headed north…

With a quick stop at the very next dock…the gas station has COLD sodas and my favorite ginger cookies (made in Sri Lanka, EXTRA spicy.)

What’s the view like from your gas station?

 

A bit farther north…beautiful breeze…sail boats were out.  Sigh…

And up to Palapa.

Out on the HUGE back deck where the construction of a second level is taking place.

A thatched roof circular bar area…very reminiscent of the old spot.  And…look at the view!

And below…I love this new seating area along the dock.

Thatch was coming in hot…

And lots of the old, autographed boards from the old locale.

I left my mark…quite a few times…

Said hi to Abner the bartender and wandered north.

I can’t wait to see the finished product.
