We dropped anchor this morning 5 miles off the coast of Belize City. The water is very shallow here. So, the cruise ships (four in total today) dock off shore and passengers tender in on fairly large tender boats.
We undertook this exercise and then explored the port area of Belize City (nothing too exciting there). Most major sights are located some distance from the city… however, we didn’t bother with an excursion as most were to either Mayan ruins or the beach–neither of which seemed worth the expense and travel time to us based on past experience. So, we returned to the ship in time for lunch, a nap, and dinner at Cagney’s (the ship’s steakhouse). All in all, it was a pretty good day.
Today’s box score: +1 country (Belize)
