Click to enlargeAttractive North Ambergris Caye
Much development is still taking place on the northern part of the island, with new resorts and condos going up and many upgrading their facilities to compete with the new ones. Immediately crossing the bridge you will notice the large billboard sign that has been erected at the foot of the bridge. It's another of Ramon's Village's decorative signs that are going up around the island as part of their new marketing campaign.
And this beautifully colored building is Reef Village's new Paradise Theatre, not yet open to the public but clearly visible from across the bridge.
While delivering up north, the staff of Ambergris Today enjoys the views at Reef Village

Belize! Playground to the Rich and Famous

Lifestyles of the rich and famous
Belize, playground to the rich and famous, attracted Paul Allen, one of the richest man in the world to vacation in Belizean water on board the world’s largest privately owned yacht “Octopus” on the week of January 26, 2010. The magnificent yacht was seen anchored near Half Moon Caye.
Octopus is currently the world's ninth largest super yacht, owned by Paul Allen, the co-founder of Microsoft, to whom she was delivered in 2003. Octopus is the third largest super yacht that is not owned by a head of state, measuring 414 feet (126 m).
Paul Allen - worth US$20 billion according to Forbes, the third richest man in America and 7th in the world - owns two other monsters yachts such as Tatoosh ranked 3rd in the World in 2003. Octopus cost Allen over US$200 million and has Permanent crew of 60, including several former Navy Seals. It has two helicopters, seven boats, a 10 man submarine and a remote controlled vehicle for crawling on the Ocean floor. The submarine has the capacity to sleep eight for up to two weeks underwater, one operated by remote control for studying the bottom of the ocean. Side hatches at the water line form a dock for jet skis.
On average, owners must spend a minimum of 10 percent of the purchase price every year to keep these yachts in good working condition and cover crew salaries. Therefore “Octopus” which cost Allen US$200 million requires a US$20 million annual budget. Ahhhhh! The life of the rich and famous!!
Dead Fish Raise Questions??
Residents arrived to the office of Ambergris Today this week to express concern over dead fish that are popping up along Marina Drive, just beyond the DFC Area, south of town. Dead Stone Bass, Mullet, Snook and Tarpon line the side of the road in the water ways and canals. We were informed that water samples were taken and sent for testing abroad in order to figure out what is happening to the fish and possibly the entire mangrove area. We will have more information on this situation as it becomes available to us.

Get a load of this! We stumbled upon a man playing a Bagpipe the other day at Central Park. This gentleman definitely caught the attention of many passersby as this instrument and its sounds are not very common around here.
