On our last full day in Belize, we decided to take it easy and explore the town.  In the morning, we woke up late and had some coffee and toast from the complimentary breakfast bar.  Then we checked out a couple of bikes from the front desk and rode around the town on beach cruisers.  It was quite an adventure weaving through the narrow streets and trying to avoid the golf carts and taxis.  I had a basket in the front to carry my backpack, the t-shirts that I bought, and Jes’ beer from the convenience store.

We ended up at Fido’s, a beachside bar/restaurant where we grabbed a bite to eat. I walked around and met a guy who introduced me to pet iguana, Peter, that was hiding up in the tree.  I also met some boys who were selling handmade jewelry and had the cutest little 9-week-old puppy with blue eyes.

Back at the hotel, we grabbed our towels and headed out for a nice spot to hang out on the beach.  We walked past a few other hotels on the shore and found an awesome 2-person lounger right on the water’s edge.  We also realized that we were at Angie and Van’s hotel and they invited us over to their pool.  So, we pretty much mooched off their awesome facilities, ordered drinks from their bar, played in their pool, and enjoyed a few hours in the sun with a nice breeze overhead and a fantastic view of the Caribbean Sea.  Thanks to our new friends we got a little taste of luxury.

Later that night, we had dinner and went out for drinks with Angie, Van, and another couple from Vancouver.  We ended up at Fido’s again but it was much livelier with a live band and many more people.  We also met a little puppy that likes to hang out at the bar.  The waitress told us that he comes to Fido’s every night and doesn’t seem to have an owner.  It was the same dog that followed the couple from Vancouver around town all day.  He was so cute and enjoyed a cold cup of ice water that he got for him from the bar.  He was so content just sitting under our chairs and keeping us company.
