Saint Greg's Regal Princess - Live - November 12, 2023

[Saint Greg]

We have terminal 1 to ourselves. Carnival is sharing terminal 2.

 

The boat driver told us the last shuttle is 4pm. the sign says 5 but I’ll go with 4 to be safe.

 

[Saint Greg]

I exited terminal 1 and didn’t see a Belize mystic sign. I asked the guard. He screamed it out. This guy in the blue said it was with him. He took my ticket and introduced me to Nelson, my guide.

 

He said we were waiting on one more person and took me to a waiting area near the Belize sign. There were only three names on the list.

After 20 mins of standing here it kind of ticks me off that I cut all the corners this morning. I didn’t shave. I ate the fast breakfast. And I got in line for the first non-excursion shuttle to be here on time but someone else didn’t do all that and I have to wait on them.

 

It said an hour after ship arrival which would’ve been 9am. I was off my shuttle at 8:50 and it’s 9:20 now.
 

[Saint Greg]

At 9:50 we left the guy.

This is the bank. It’s also where the Jade Head is kept which is the crown jewel of Belize. It was found at the Temple of the Sun God. That’s the one I climbed at Altun Ha last year. It’s the temple on the Belikin beer bottles and this bank is shaped to resemble it.

Marion Jones athletic center. Her mother was Belezian. She donated 1.2 mil dollars to Belize and this facility was named after her.

We stopped at a store where we could purchase refreshments. Nelson bought us each a bottle of water. I bought a few beers.

Any round stones you see are from restoration. The rectangular ones are original limestone.

Let me skip to something from the museum so you can see what this plaza used to look like.

I’m climbing the big temple. The others didn’t want to join me. It’s a little slick today. Good thing I had a few beers first.

 

 

A look down after the first part.
