We woke up at ridiculous o’clock for sunrise yoga. It was pretty good, but in the end we did much better yoga later on in the trip. Still, this was enjoyable. A good way to start the day.

Sean decided that sunrise yoga was not for him.

This is an ant trail. Walked by so many ants that it’s a little path through the grass. These were all over the lawn.

One last shot of the Belize Jungle Dome (at Banana Bank). We tried to go into that dome, but apparently the stairs are broken and not safe so we decided to do something else instead.

The zoo! I was a little worried about the zoo…I’ve been to a few, and I just don’t find animals all that exciting. This place was pretty hilarious though. They have funny rhyming signs all over the place. Apparently it was started in the 80s after a documentary crew had a bunch of animals left over and no where to put them. Presto, instant zoo. Since then they’ve taken in entirely rescue animals.

Monkey! This was the first time I missed my old camera. I would’ve been able to get that monkey in the frame…

Tapir!

Ocelot! Such a beautiful cat.

Wild boar!

More kitties!

Sean, the bird whisperer.

This jaguar is apparently famous. He is a “problem jaguar”, as they made sure everyone knew. But he’ll give you a high-five and apparently he’s used for jaguar education…as in…educating people.

Ok, so I desperately wish that I had the guts to take a photo of the proprietors of this place. We were driving back to the airport to drop off the ladies and needed some food, so we stopped at some random place.

Old man, old lady and they gave us the no-feeling. Sean thought they were just old. Kerry and I were amazed that we left with all of our skin. ie, it wasn’t being used as bed sheets.

Aside from the general aura of old-person-creep about them, they also had this really odd habit. They would stand over us while we were eating and have a conversation. But each of them was having a different conversation, regardless of whether anyone was actually listening or not. At one point I watched while everyone turned to the lady and the man just kept talking away. So…weird.

We left Dayl, Diane and Sandra at the airport and wished them a happy flight. Sad to see them go – they were great to hang out with – but happy to get to the island and go diving!

The boat to San Pedro. It left from Belize City and took about 2 hours. (I think, maybe 1.5).

There is more from Day 5, but I wanted to split it up. Later!
