Monday
Monday was one of the most fun days I have ever had. We went to Caye Caulke!
When we first got there we split into two groups of if we were going snorkeling or if we were going to hang out on the beach and go shopping. the people that went snorkeling was me, Julie , Steven , Sarah , Ryan , Johnny , JR , Kim, Candice , Paul , Bill, Ralph , and Mandy. The rest of the group went to the island to walk around and go shopping.
The people in the boat got to the first stop we got into the water and could see it raining on the island. But that didn’t bother us because we were already wet. When you looked underwater it was beautiful! You could see all kinds of coral and fish. When we were turned around we saw an eel that was about to bite Ryan if he hadn’t moved. When we finished that stop we got into the boat and went to Shark-Ray Alley.
When we got there, we didn’t see any sharks’ only sting rays. At first I was really scared to go into the water but after a while I jumped in when I saw that no one was getting hurt or stung. When you looked underwater you could see A LOT of sting rays it was amazing! Most of us had underwater cameras and took some really cool pictures. The sting rays were really nice and some of them would come right up to you and swim ether under you or next to you. Sarah actually got to hold one and the weird thing is it was happy just sitting on her. Finally we got hungry and ate some fresh fruit on the boat.
The last stop was the most exciting to me. When we got there the guide said that we could explore on our own so all the kids went far off but me and Julie was a little slower so we go into the water last. Suddenly I had this weird feeling. So Julie and I looked around and we saw a needle point fish. We called Ralph over and he said nothing to worry about, but I still didn’t feel comfortable. So Julie and I looked around and saw a Barracuda. So Julie said “Amber go back to the boat now!” So we went back to the boat as fast as we could and told everyone else to get back to the boat. When we got back to the island we finished up all of our shopping. Well I guess I’ve told you enough.
See yah later! ~Amber
