Cart Day!
Had breakfast @ hotel, HUGE! servings.
As I had feared it was a Seinfeld moment. No cart! Waited about 30 minutes for them to get one out of the shop. First stop was a the bank and got some money off CC.
Drove North. The bridge over the cut is pretty cool. I swear the guy taking the tickets is the same guy that was working the boat 20 years ago! The trail is pretty rough in spots. Pretty cool driving thru parts of the jungly stuff. Lots of iguanas. Got stopped by some German(?) woman who was stopping all the tourists along the road sellings jewelry. Everyone got some thing. There was a nice little resort that had a red/brown paint to it. The North road cut right thru it. The rooms were on teh west side of the road and the pool, etc on the east side. Need to find out the name. Maybe stay there next time.
Got to the first Geocache! Everyone else thought I was crazy for doing it until we found someone else at the first stop (Virginia). When D found the cache it was a huge "This is cool" moment. Did not take, but left a $1 belize in it. I had forgotten the horses I was going to leave.
Beautiful stretches of beach on the rest of the journey north. We would have to switch back from jungle to beach to jungle as people prevented carts from the beach (understandable). The stretches along the beach we nice cool and breezy. The jungle, hot and humid. Road got MUCH rougher.
The next cache at the 18th parallel. Looks like another little place to stay right there. Might stay there. We looked for about 10 min and were about to give up when other geocacher arrived. The girls were getting hot and hungry. Michelle found this one. What made it hard was that there was lots of trash in the area making it more difficult to separate the wheat and chaff.
Michelle drove back. Went down the wrong path 2x. Saw one home that was very nice. Looked like teak window frames.
On the south side of bridge stopped and purchase some brightly painted wall hanging nicknacks. Picked up some subs at Hungry Monkey (next to Mickey's).
Late after lunch cleaned up and went South. Got reservations at Victoria House. Saw some crocs in a bay on the west side of island. got some pictures. Tried to find cache in area. It seemed to be at the end of a pier.
The dinner at Victoria House was incredible. Michelle had grilled grouper and I had a tenderloin. W had a cheese quesidilla that was probably the best I have everm tasted. Glad we did not stay there. The girls would have been bored as it is so tranquil.
After dinner stopped off at Island Super Market. Tried to explain to Michelle the prices were too high. But she did not seem to care. Turns out the Diet Cokes we purchased were expired. I wisely did not laugh.
