Belize, 2024, day 3

Lobster pretty much sums up day three.

But first the day was very relaxing. It rained a lot so Matt and I hung out in the pool in the rain and solved the problems of the world. Lilli is an absolute delight and we laughed our butts off in the condo while she played on her computer and Matt and I watched the Olympics.

Back to the lobster. We found this place called Happy Lobster.

The North side of Caye Caulker is rural. Very rural. By the time we were ready to eat it was dark. And this is Central America so there’s snakes and alligators and bugs so I wasn’t much interested in walking from BluZen to find the restaurant. I’d read in one of the reviews of the restaurant that they might come and pick you up in a golf cart so I called and they did! Thanks god because the route didn’t feel anything close to safe.

Restaurant is a big word for this little place. It’s pretty much a shack for a kitchen with outdoor seating. Not much ambiance but the folks were so friendly and the lobster was so good. Our server (cook and driver?) told us how many lobster tails they had left and the size of each in ounces. (They had two 7 ounce and one 8 ounce.) We took all of them. Served with coconut rice and veggies it was all delicious.

A quick ride golf cart ride back to the condo and it was time for bed. We had to get up early for scuba diving.

Relaxing, relatively uneventful day. Perfect.
