PELICAN BEACH


So this is how we spend a night each week.

We get on our trusty bikes and ride down the road towards Pelican Beach. This is a lovely spot where Dangrigas only real resort is (Its not really that flash or resort like but it is nicer than most other places).

On the way there we go past a place called Amigos, this is a little shed on the side of the road where you can buy fried chicken, Belizean style for $3! We grab two of these and carry on up the road to the beach.

At the beach, there is a pier that heads out over the Caribbean Sea. At the end is a hut with no sides and three hammocks hanging under it. This is where we sit and eat our chicken, mmmmmm paradise you might say.

Sometimes we sit in the hammock and other times we sit with our feet swinging in the warm waters of the Caribbean. From here we look out over the town of Dangriga and in the distance we can see storms raging on the horizon. The storms are often so far away that you cannot hear the thunder, just see the lightening. It is quite beautiful. Most nights there is a storm out there somewhere, so we can watch it from a far. Most nights also there is a pink tinge to the sky as the sun sets on the opposite coast to us. This lights up all the sky in the most magical way. I have put a little picture of our spot on here for you, so you can imagine us sitting there. Don’t get jealous now!
