San Pedro Island

We spent a day on San Pedro Island before we flew home from Belize.  We got up early Thursday morning and headed to Belize City to take a boat taxi to San Pedro.  We caught the boat taxi right as it was about to take off.  It was pretty crowded.
It was lunch time by the time we got to the island.  We ate some really good lunch at Fido's before checking into our hotel.  We stayed at the Mayan Princess, which is in the heart of San Pedro, right on the beach.  Everything was easily accessible which was very nice.
Me and my favorite boys...
 This was the view from our balcony
As soon as we checked into our room and put our bags up, Michael and I then walked a couple of blocks to find a pharmacy.  He was in a little bit of pain from the allergic reaction he was having.  So we found some Benadryl that we were hoping would give him some relief.  
By the time we got back our golf carts had been delivered so we took off to explore the island.
We drove a couple of miles down the island to the Banana Beach resort where we had stayed a few years earlier.  This is where we booked our snorkeling trip with Lil Alphonse.
We headed back to the hotel get changed into our swim suits for our snorkeling trip out at the coral reef.  We saw all kinds of coral, fish, a couple of giant sea turtles, an eel and way too many sting ray's and sharks!

 I didn't have a water camera so the only pictures I could take were from the boat before I got in.

Here is a picture from 2009 where both my kids are holding the sharks!  Yikes!!
 And Michael swimming down to touch the sting ray...
After our snorkeling adventure, we went back to the hotel to get cleaned up for dinner.  We ate at El Patio which was pretty tasty!
  Friday morning we woke up to a beautiful day!  And it was time to make the journey back home from our week long trip to Belize.
 The boat ride back to Belize City was much better than the ride to the island.
What a fun way to finish up an GREAT trip!
