Exploring the Western Caribbean

My sweet husband took me on a wonderful trip for our 1st Anniversary to Costa Maya, Belize, Roatan Island Honduras and Cozumel. This was our first cruise and it was a BLAST! We went with Norwegian Cruise Line....freestyle cruising!

Day 2 was at Sea- We laid out, played basketball, challenged each other in ping pong, and had lots and lots to drink! That evening we enjoyed a wonderful meal at Cagney's Steakhouse.

Day 4 Belize City, Belize, Central America- When we arrived to Belize, we had to get on smaller boats and be taken to the Island. Belize is known for its WONDERFUL shopping...so we had to check it all out. While Nic browsed the watches, I checked out all the wonderful designer jewelry. As we were leaving for our excursion, Nic pulled out a John Hardy bracelet that he somehow snuck by me. We then got on a catamaran that took us way out where we went snorkeling along the 2nd largest barrier reef in the world!! Still haven't developed those water cameras but we saw some amazing reefs and colorful fish!

Stores everywhere.. 

I was too overwhelmed and couldn't narrow it down, walked out without anything=( 

Beautiful leather rugs 

Leaving the port 

Nic was very happy to be leaving the Island, shopping wore him out... off to snorkel
