Breakfast overlooking the lagoon



Waking up to sounds of birds, and cows! We sat overlooking the lagoon and a herd of highly active cows came thundering by, splashing up the water in front of us. Dozens of birds fly about and some horses grazed the fields behind. Out came the water colours and I sketched and painted my first Belize scene before stretching out in the hammocks, definately inthe shade, cooled by the lagoon breezes. Crooked Tree Lodge and lagoon is a peaceful place with a small village nearby and some local eateries with home made rice, beans, beef and chicken and of course coleslaw. No signage, dirt roads, no hype about it. Friendly english speaking Belizeans, born and raised nearby.We discovered a pride in people's birth place, and invitations to visit their home village.
