International Tourism in Belize – Day 5

7:30am – Dailey Apples and Onions meeting

8:00am – Breakfast Time – We had delicious banana pancakes, bacon, eggs and mixed tropical fruit.

9:30am – Tour of the Dive Resort (Isla Marisol) on the other side of the island. It’s a lovely place with a much different vibe then the Island Expeditions side. Not a bad vibe, just different. It was interesting to see how they keep the island running and how they get their water and energy. I loved that everything we talked about in Environmental Stewardship in first year we could see in action on the island and throughout Belize. It makes you think that if a classified third world country can do environmentally friendly work and experience practices why can’t a country like Canada be more ahead of the game.

12:30pm – Lunch

2:15pm – Fishing! Butch took us drop line fishing and trolling for the afternoon. I caught many fish but only could keep four of them as the rest were. Everyone on the boat caught at least one fish.

Fish that we were catching were:

Squirrel Fish

Lane Snapper

Porgy

Red Hind

Two various kinds of Grunt fish – white and Spanish

Sane Tile

Catching these fish was exciting and something I’ve never done before, I enjoyed fishing so much I joined the group again the next day to continue my fishing adventure.
