We arrived at Harvest Caye, Belize at 8 AM — day five of our seven-day cruise. The island’s seven-acre beach is known for its powder-white sand and crystal-clear Caribbean water.
Susie skipped breakfast with us today as she headed off for a Rainforest River tubing adventure through the jungle.
After breakfast, Cecile, Nelson, and I took the shuttle to the end of the pier to visit the Wildlife Center. We got up close with a green iguana , and admired the colorful scarlet macaws and toucans in the aviary.
The butterfly garden was magical — especially the brilliant Blue Morpho butterflies , among the largest in the world with 5–7 inch wingspans, along with fascinating owl butterflies gliding through the garden.
A beautiful Belize morning discovering the island’s wildlife before continuing our Caribbean voyage.
