We have stayed at many nice places with outdoor baths and showers. Chris is now ranking the outdoor shower in the Ventanas over water villa as her favorite - and here's why. No millipedes, no lizards, no bugs at all; open and breezy yet just the right temp; sea below and sky above; lovely bath products; large enough to also double as a drying spot for towels, suits, and water shoes. Just be sure to keep the lights off at night or the shutters turned down for the occasional water taxi going past. Mike may have a different opinion - but I haven't heard any complaints from him like I did about cold water in the first class shower lounge in fiji!
Mike found a Jerry Jeff Walker song that he likes.
Well he came down on vacation, 'cause he liked the tropic sun Margaritas and the music, made it all seem fun He bought a piece of heaven on the Carribean seas He's a happy little camper in Belize
He began to build a condo, but the labor cost was high His partner stole his money, that left him high and dry His land is still a mudhole, where you sink up to your knees And he's just another gringo in Belize
He's a planner, he's a dreamer, he's a sordid little schemer Seems to think that money grows on trees He's a whiner, he's a loser, he's a pothead, he's a boozer He's just another gringo in Belize
Well he used to have a girlfriend that now he can't afford Since one of his investments got busted at the border He wasted all his money paying bribes and fines and fees And he's just another gringo in Belize
Oh, he sold his motorcycle, somebody stole his boat They ran it on the reef and now the damn thing just won't float The only thing's that free is mud, mosquitoes and the breeze And he's just another gringo in Belize
Okay, so it's just a song, but it's tempting.
However, two half built condos across from us convince us not to make real estate decisions while under the influence of sun and coconut vodka.
We returned to Belize a third time for Mike's 60th. Since we liked the overwater villa in Fiji, we decided on Cayo Espanto in Belize that has one overwater villa.
Getting there is half the fun. (Or is it getting there is half the trip).
