Hi All,
We had a
lovely cruise with Bert/Betty and Greg/Sue.
We sailed on the Norweigen Jewel leaving out of Houston, Texas’ Bayport
Terminal.
The first
and second days we traveled on the sea.
The food was excellent and we saw some fun shows with singing and
dancing from the on-board staff.
The third
day we arrived in Cozumel, Mexico. Sandy
and Craig went snorkeling and Greg/Sue, Bert/Betty went shopping. We saw some very colorful fish.
The fourth
day we arrived in Belize. We went to see
Mayan ruins—Lamoni, meaning submerged crocodile--in the jungle which were
amazing. We got to the ruins traveling
through the jungle in a boat. We saw
crocodiles and colorful birds. At Lamoni,
we saw the “High Temple” and the “Jaguar Temple”. The structures were very large and impressive
that people back then engineered and built such buildings. Wentworth was our guide and seemed fairly
knowledgeable about the archealogical history of the site. During the tour we saw a family of monkeys in
the jungle. We also made friends with a
couple from Texas—Shane and April. They
are both in the military and we had interesting conversations about Afghanistan
and Iraq, where he had served. They
seemed genuinely interested in building strong family relationships.
The fifth
day we spent at a resort location in Rhoatan, Honduras. This is a small island with some beautiful
beaches. Moody Jones, our guide, took us
to a resort and we snorkeled for about four hours. We saw a huge lobster and a scorpion fish
(lion fish) among other fish.
