Day 179 - Glad we missed the hurricane

San Ignacio to San Pedro

The aftermath of yesterday's adventure was that K was grazed along the length of her arm and leg, she was also very bruised on her back, arm, thigh and calf, so she had some difficulty getting about. By taking it slowly though we were able to make the short walk to our bus for Belize City.

The bus service was great for us, it took us directly to the ferry port in Belize City (which seems to indicate there doesn't seem to be much else to see in Belize City), then it was just a short walk to board the ferry. The first stop for the ferry was Caye Caulker where lots of people disembarked, we stayed on all the way through to the small town of San Pedro on Ambergris Caye. As we pulled in to port the damage from Hurricane Earl was obvious with smashed piers and debris everywhere.


Our apartment was right on the beach about a kilometre from the port, and given K's condition it was just what we needed, with a great view and close to shops. Our plan here was to get our Cuba arrangements well underway or even finished, given that we really needed to have pretty much all of our travel and accommodation sorted before we left for Cuba in about a week's time.
