egcntrk - The house is directly on the beach. Just North of Town. Next door but one is the Tides Resort which has a pool. Patajo, the owner is really nice and would let you swim in it. He runs a diving school and his dock is longer than Brianna's and he will let you sunbathe at the end of it. Because it is longer, any trips you go on would pick you up from the end of his dock.

When you walk along all the docks the amount of sealife you can see is great - sting rays, puffer fish etc. and the conch shells are in abundance. Also, around the few docks around Brianna's is a resident barracuda called Oscar. He is probably about 4 ft long! you may be lucky enough to spot him - we saw him twice.

Listen out for the lady who comes by on the bike everyday - she will sound her horn and sells cinnamon buns and small chicken pies and hot dogs - the street sellers are really good and we had some cinnamon rolls one day from one guy which I'm told were scrumptious by my family (I don't like cinnamon - another story in itself why I don't like it!) but we could never find him again.

There is a bakery along the street from Papi's diner called Le Popular Bakery - they have fresh cakes, buns and bread every morning and that was my father in law's job to go and stock up on the days before him and my husband went fishing for them to take on the boat.

There are 2 supermarkets as you walk back into town (along the streets, not beach) virtually opposite each other. The pink one has a larger stock than the other (Richie's supermarket) but the pink supermarket is more expensive.

Must tell you another funny story about Christmas Eve - we went to midnight mass which was a truly touching experience. The church was totally packed and people were standing in the doorways and the singing was very moving. (I saw one tourist go out as he had tears in his eyes). My husband and I were sitting next to a Belizean lady who was holding a beautiful sleeping 6 month old baby who slept for more than half the service. The little baby woke up near the end and was wide eyed at all the people in the church and was so good - that is, until he turned his eyes to me! I smiled at him and those eyes just got bigger and bigger and then he just let out a scream and buried his head into his mummy's chest! - everytime he looked around at me he would scream and bury his head again! - in the end my husband and I had to leave - I think it was my blonde hair and my pale skin (well, I hope so!).
