We tried a new form of transportation this year — golf cart. We’d rented them before with Jamma but only for a couple of hours to run errands in town. This time we decided to get it for the week so we could explore a bit more of the island. Bruce did most of the driving, which was fun for me because I got to look around. The boys each got to drive, too. Ezra wasn’t a big fan, but Finn loved it.
Bruce even made him a Belizean driver’s license.
One day we drove the cart north on the road which proved to be incredibly bumpy. It was a good adventure though. We went to X’tan Ha resort for lunch and swimming.
We decided then that we wouldn’t try to go further north. The “road” is really unpleasant and you’re not allowed to drive on the beach. I think we’ll stick to boats.
But … it was a good thing we had it because it enabled us to get into town quickly when we discovered Ezra had a very painful ear infection and needed to see a doctor in town. The office was closing early so we high-tailed it to town. I didn’t take any pictures of the doctor’s office (seemed like bad form) but he was very nice and we got some meds for Ezra. I loved that the antibiotic came in the old school glass bottle.
His ear healed enough for him to enjoy the rest of the trip, although we did have to visit our own doc and get some drops for him after we got back.
