Carlos let us off at San Pedro for lunch. We were to meet after a couple of hours at the dock to proceed to the last leg of our trip: the nurse shark stop. Ambergris has more of a moneyed tourist vibe than Caye Caulker. Just like our day trip out of Mazunte in Mexico, the food was twice as expensive here than at the Caye. At Lily's restaurant, however, the food we ate was the best we've had so far. We ordered blackened and grilled red snappers. We made sure with the waiter that we like our fish off the grill before it gets too well-done. The fish ceviche did not disappoint. It was what we were craving for with our Belikins. Ambergris Caye, Belize Ambergris is the substance secreted by sperm whales and when quantities of it appeared on the shores of the caye during the 19th century, the name stuck. Lily's Restaurant In San Pedro's east end. It's a little pricey but at least our snappers were not overcooked. Mazunte, Mexico See our trip to Mexico.
