You Better Belize It !!! (Part 10)

........Belizean Shores can only be described as gorgeous. They have worked hard on the landscaping and time has allowed stuff to grow. They finished the tennis/basketball courts in the back and the restaurant has a great menu (finally).............

......Remember this view from the square bar in the restaurant over looking the ocean, the lagoon and allowing a peek at the balcony of 6B? I wish I were there right now........

....Here is another great view of 6B. From a stool at the swim up bar. Do you know that because of our financial problems this year we actually listed this thing for sale? Our situation is marginally better now and we took it off the list. The Realtor was disappointed. The property languished through the high season with two other units and no one showed much interest. Then one sold at the end of the season. Two parties were vying for the other one and the Realtor told them, "don't worry, the winner wins and the loser gets 6B!" We took it off the market just in the nick of time!!.....


........disaster struck just as we got there. The power went out. YES!!THERE WAS NO BLENDER!!. We struggled along on rum punch and Belikin until, sent from GOD, it came back on. ..............



.......It was crowded and the bartender, Orlando, did his best to keep the drinks fresh and cold.........



............Then, after the power came on, in that awsome silence like in church when the priest is preparing the host and wine, Orlando worked his magic with the blender.............



............and KAAAZZZAAAMMM!! Like a deeply religious experience or a good day on wall street!! There they were in front of us, just begging to be taken.......TWO DIRTY BANANAS!! For the uninitiated, these are blender drinks with rum, bananas, and Baileys. Lets just say they slide down pretty easy.........
..........just to make you want to come back with us, here is a shot of Wendy and a dirty banana on YOUR stool in the picture. She had to climb out along the waterfall, hand over hand as she does not have permission to swim with her shoulder yet. I carried out her drink for the picture.................
