August 14th, 2009 || No Comments || Other Shenanigans, Pedro's Hotel Happenings
As Charlie is the nicest member of Pedro’s staff, we celebrated her 9th birthday in style. There was bbq and cake and of course Jager. Will SAGA complain about giving bowls of Jager to dogs?
Lucky for Charlie, there were no nutcases around to spray paint her again!
Walter and Charlie
Walter cooking up a storm! Those beans are great by the way….
We love cake!

We seem to have very important things to do – I have since found exactly what all the “very important meetings” means exactly – Peter has been having these “meetings” since I’ve known him. Being now his official Girl Friday, I had to go on one of these meetings.
Here we are, happy on the golf cart to get the boat
Charlie on the backseat – she loves going for a spin
Here is the boat
How do you drive it?
Adonis eat your heart out – Captain Pedro made me weak at the knees (bwahahahahaha)
First Mate Charlie
I was complaining that there were no dolphins – as if on cue – one popped up and played
Caye Caulker in the background
Charlie getting ready to bully dogs on a different Caye
Still one of my favourite boats
I tied it to a log! Captain P was not impressed
Lazy Lizard bar at the split
Swimming at the split and the collapsed seawall
Caye Caulker – all hustle and bustle
Doing very important “meeting” things – now I’ve busted him….”meeting” means eating and drinking….
Ouch – look at that sky, time to leave the island and get back to San Pedro before we get soaked
Being followed by a big grey cloud all the way home
A happy Girl Friday
I promised to not put the photos up concerning lack of mooring skills or make any reference to said lack of skills – oops – sorry
We had no idea how to get Charlie out of the very low boat and onto the very high dock – so Captain Pedro just threw her in the sea
Charlie walking back to the beach
And a good afternoon was had by all, we got back to the office slightly tipsy and slightly sunburnt – that’s always the sign of a good meeting!

It’s not every day young Cindy gets married so I wanted to make sure she had a proper wedding.
Of course her friends came

Poor Charlie got sprayed with non toxic hair color – Jeff loves Cindy

Playing poker with friends is a fine way to spend your wedding night
Luckily she did not loose her rock in the poker game

Well we sent young Cindy to the Blue Hole for the day and now she wants to marry all the crew at Pedro’s dive club. She said their boat, staff and equipment were excellent. The guys knew their stuff, were very professional and lots of fun too – must have been the super strength Panty Rippers after the day of diving!
She had to get up very early, pick up from the dock was 5.30am followed by the two hour boat ride out to the Atoll – even though Cindy is not an early bird she agreed it was well worth it. Thankfully, they filled her with coffee at the dive shop then she stuffed her face on breakfast, snacks, fruit and lunch.
She dove the Blue Hole and saw what she calls “proper’ sharks, black tips, reef sharks and a Bull shark – she was apparently slightly nervous with the Bull shark VERY close to her! Then off to Half Moon Caye wall for the 2nd dive – lunch at Half Moon Caye where there is the Booby Bird Sanctuary. Of course, she got pooed on! Then the third dive at the Aquarium which she said was really stunning.
If you too would like to dive the Blue Hole – just ask Cindy and she’ll tell you all about

Heading home after a great day of diving
She obviously had a Panty Ripper too many and her friends took advantage of her whilst she was snoozing on the boat and surrounded her with shoes. She’s still talking about the trip. Where should we send her next?

Well, it’s that time of year again. We started the annual Sad Bastard’s Christmas Party about 4 years ago now, so all of us Sad Bastards could get together on Christmas day, commiserate about how much of a Sad Bastard we are and get drunk together – the true spirit of Christmas I would say…
Well, it has grown so much over the years that on Christmas day this year (next week! holy crap!) there will be about 70 Sad Bastards in all experiencing our own special brand of Holiday Cheer. Good thing we renovated the bar this year and that the doorway now opens up completely…
Oh, and we now have Sea Kayaks for the exclusive use of our guests… Pedro’s Inn, the only Belize Hostel with the amenities of a full service resort! What’s in store for 2009? Keep checking back to find out.
Here are some photos of Sad Bastard’s Christmas Past…
