San Pedro Belize beach pictures

9:00am
What a morning I just spent the last 3 h editing pictures and I am not even close to done. I still have finish sorting my Sony Cybershot pics for today’s post, unload my Olympus stylus and get Saturdays pool pics and yesterdays bikini shots sorted and edited. Back to sorting pics so I can get them posted and move onto the next thing. 11:00am Half way there on getting pictures up. As you can see we had a very eventful flight, rain shower, rainbow and a fantastic view. For some reason my gallery is being naughty and refusing to post pictures in order. Got it down to a couple pictures out of sync – for what ever reason they do not want to get in line. I am off for a much needed break, pictures of driving through Dangriga when I get back.

I thought I would play smart with these next pics and choose a different gallery option to break up the pictures a bit and avoid previous technical difficulties. Sometimes working smarter = working harder. I suddenly have found myself homeschooling on the latest version NextGEN gallery and working out the new way of doing things. So much for saving time ha ha. This next set of pictures is our quick drive through Dangriga to the boat dock. One shot I missed  on our way was a very cool drum statue – have to go back for that one and do a bit more  exploring.

Here are the last of my pics for today, our photo shoot location at Royal Belize. What a fabulous way to spend a Sunday – on private island. Cindy and I had the best time with our attentive and funny host Peter and European photographer Bennot Thoma – Hit Photography. His Hotel shots are amazing. I can’t wait to see his finished product on Royal Belize pictures, we did get a few sneak peaks throughout the day.

7:47 pm
Came back to fix first gallery and do it in nextGEN to get the picture order right – oficyally done for the day. I was happy to see Zac online and I ordered up a Healthy Belize home delivery – cannot get enough coconut water. I am also getting organic  lettuce, butternut squash, dragon fruit and star fruit.

Tune in tomorrow my photo shoot of Bennot’s photo shoot at Royal Belize,  trip pics from Dangriga to San Pedro will come on Wednesday.

I took a course on making the perfect omelette.(true). I would be happy to cook one for you with a variety of fillings: mushrooms, peppers, chicken, bacon, cheese etc. However I see 2 problems: I won’t go to San Pedro as I am a socialist and second because you are too busy detoxifying after someone found something funky in your iris:)

Hello! Did you see that bacon on my plate? I may be cleaning house a bit but have not forsaken all foodie fun. If omelet is good enough [and it sounds like it could be] I might be willing to leave the island lol.

I have a problem with the breakfast photo. Its missing breakfast sausages, toast, hash browns, a stack of flapjacks with maple syrup, and cinnamon sprinkled pink grapefruit with a maraschino cherry. White sauce on the eggs might be a nice touch too. I presume this is just a technical problem. Pleasse adjust. Thanks laurie.

Love Taco Girl Blog @LaurieNorton! I've been reading this blog since I started visiting Ambergris Caye in Belize almost... 10 years ago. It is filled with helpful up-to-date information and recommendations that I wouldn't necessarily find on my own. Laurie Norton's knowledge and extensive network on the island provides her with the ability to share perks/discounts/coupons with her readers, which come in handy year after year. Things on the island change daily - new businesses pop up constantly and LaurieNortonstays on top of these developments. Whenever I plan my return trip to the island, I always check her blog first - and I recommend you do the same. Trip Advisor ain't got nuttin' on Taco Girl!read more

Laurie's blog is my official “go to” source for tourist and local information on San Pedro. Of course, it’s... always nice to see her guides on “what to do” in San Pedro, but I also appreciate her “insider” advice and human interest stories on what it’s like living as a local on the island. There is so much information it's amazing! Thank you Laurie!!!read more

I’m so pleased to see tacogirl's blog on Google. Laurie's blog is my official “go to” source for tourist and... local information on San Pedro. Of course, it’s always nice to see her guides on “what to do” in San Pedro, but I also appreciate her “insider” advice and human interest stories on what it’s like living as a local on the island. I especially enjoy her guest articles, providing a different perspective of all things San Pedro. Her tipping quide is a classic, and don’t forget her Tropic Air flight code and on-island discounts. You’re not up-to-date with what’s going on in San Pedro if you’re not regularly reading tacogirl's blog.read more

Do yourself a favor. Read this BEFORE any trip to San Pedro - Ambergris Caye or Belize in general. Not saying “do... what everyone else says”, but Laurie has frank and honest info which will make your stay in country a little more fun, a little more informative, and often at a great cost savings. Best thing: it’s unbiased, honest, and factual. Personal note: thank you for your personal tailored help in answering mine (and my wife’s) questions.read more

Taco Girl (Laurie) is amazing. She has so much knowledge about Belize and has great connections with many of the... businesses in Belize. Because of her connections she is able to offer many perks and discounts that you wouldn't have been able to find otherwise. She is super responsive and I always go to her for all my travel needs. From golf cart rentals, to spas, to places to eat. She's got the inside scoop on all!read more
