Finally! Today was perfect and exactly what we pictured when we first booked our trip. Being on the Caribbean side, we get to wake up to the sun rise (it still is a little weird that the sun doesn’t set over the ocean). With the bright bright sun, we decided to take the hotel kayaks to False Caye, an island about a mile out to sea. On our way, a pair of dolphins came to swim with us! We snorkeled about the reef around the island until I was too cold and until Kevin almost got attacked by the giant jellyfish (i’m not kidding, check out the picture below!) then headed back to shore.
The rest of the afternoon was magical, soaking in endless sun rays. As we were playing Uno near the pool, the food truck that comes only on Wednesday’s and Saturday’s came by our hotel. We had heard rumors of said food truck and it was indeed, great. We bought some mango and coconut yogurt for breakfast tomorrow and some Goss chocolate which is made here in Placencia. We’ll let you know how they taste next report.
Tonight on our walk home from dinner we spotted some fireflies. Neither one of us has seen one before so it was a nice treat to end the day. The best treat of all though was the chocolate souffle we shared for dessert out on our dock, under the stars. I know what you’re thinking, awww, isn’t that so sweet? Yes, it is, but all I could really think about was how I wish I didn’t have to share that souffle…it was yummy!
Ahhh sun!
singin’… “Do-n’t stop Beli-zen! Hold on to that feelin’!”
