4-5-2017 Hike on Tiger Fern Trail then Miniature Golf and merry making

Cara didn't feel very good, so she had some breakfast then rested.  The rest of us went to the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, which is a park run by the Audubon Society that has a bunch of cool trails on it.

We started off the day with Breakfast at Thongs.  This is the Thongs French Toast.

Brian and Eric got the Daily special because neither of us knew how to pronounce the dish

We had visions of an early start, but we hit the trail at 11:30.  The Cockscomb Basin has a lot of different trails ranging from
short ones to 30 mile trails.  We did 7 KM which is 4.8 miles. 

Start of the Tiger Fern Trail

The Trail started flat then rose and rose.  It was hot!

It was hazy, but the trail goes up and up until you get to the top of a small mountain.  Off in the distance is Victoria Peak
which is the second largest peak in Belize.

The cool thing about this trail is that you get super hot, but then appear at a nice cool waterfall you can swim in!

Brian needed to climb the waterfall.  Erin posed.

same picture as above but zoomed in

Brian continued to climb

Finally he got to a good jumping spot.  Erin scouted the landing area and he went!

We hung out for an hour or two at the Waterfall and just relaxed.

The nice thing about the trail is that every 10 minutes there is a bench to hang out on.

Wednesdays are Putt Putt night at www.Windschief.com so those the visitors went home and regrouped and returned.

12-27-2014 Walked around Hopkins and ate at Thongs

Sabrina's sister and husband got massages by the ocean for a Christmas present.  At about 11:00 we took a tour of town and the Marina and stuff like that.  The marina sits right on the Sittee River just about 1/2 mile before it dumps into the ocean.  They have a beautiful grounds there.

This is called the Curve Bar and it is by the marina on Sittee River. 

These are the ever-present geckos  They like to live indoors too

They have a variety of outdoor areas at the Curve Bar

After walking around the marina we toured the back roads and headed into the village of Hopkins. We met Ingrid on the way, and she joined us for lunch and our tour of town.

This is just around the corner from Thongs, and you can see a concrete house under construction.

Cara's Vegetarian Eggplant Parmesan at Thongs Cafe - it's the best she has ever had.
