After a few hours of bus, small plane, and boat rides across Belize's beautiful landscape, we ended up on a peaceful island called South Water Caye, and it was all ours. The first thing I did was lay 2 feet from the ocean on the hot sand and I remember thinking "now this is more like it".
There was plenty to do on an island that is literally on the second largest barrier reef in the world. I had a chance to kayak across the reef, go sailing with a native boy who The man we were traveling with had known for years, become friends with all of the people that worked on the island (Melissa was our bartender, we all LOVED her!!). We also took a boat out and went fishing, traveled to nearby islands to meet other natives, and we went scuba diving.
On our trip back to South Water Caye the driver of our boat realized that there were several dolphins swimming alongside us. He stopped and we jumped in the water and to our surprise the dolphins didn't move. We had an opportunity that not many have, swimming with wild dolphins!
I have so many great memories from this part of our trip and I am so thankful I was able to experience it. Four days and five nights on our island was pure bliss but the best was yet to come...
