The view from the little restaurant on site.
The beach was nice and we had some internet for the day, but we knew we could find a lot cheaper place to stay if we kept moving on. We did get to meet a great couple from Vancouver who we could have spent a lot more time getting to know….maybe someday on Canadian turf.

We left the next day and drove through the small town of Puerto Morelos, full of dread locked surfers, fish shacks and bars. We arrived in Mahahual and made our way to Coco Ha, a small grassy lot next to the beach and just steps away from the bars and restaurants of the malecon. We set up for 120 pesos per night (about 8 CAD)…way better. The beach has lots of washed up sea grass, but the water was beautiful, and we needed to just hang somewhere for a few days to get some small repairs done on the camper, get after some other chores, and to do some reading about what there is to see and do in Belize.

Hola Cathy, Derek, Piper,
First I love that you include photos of that lovely creature: Piper that is! Derek, have you worked on your experiment since being on the ocean? I look forward to avidly reading your posts Cathy and enjoy the photos. I check regularly to see where you are. Yes, Acamaya is expensive. I had paid for 3 days and ended spending an extra week because of the owner who came to introduce himself as he likes cats and who then spent 4 hours with me visiting by his small restaurant. He is an artist from Paris who worked with Picasso at the latter’s studio in Valauris North of Nice. I was elated to spend time with him hearing the Parisian French as my grandpa came from France and it is my first language.
May the roads ahead be smooth… Adela
