Fun in the Sun as visitors flooded the island! Many businesses were very happy to see a large influx of tourist as it showed promise to good business. There were no major incidents reported by the police department and it was a safe and happy weekend for all!

With all the heavy traffic on the island, an accident seemed imminent. This small mishap occurred by Banyan Bay Villas on Saturday.
After a week-long of pageantry experience in Chiapas, Mexico, at the Piel Dorada International Pageant, Tatiana Rivero was back in her home town of San Pedro on Monday, April 6. Family was on hand at the San Pedro Airstrip to greet her and congratulate her on a job well done representing Belize. Cause for celebration was in hand because Tatiana did not come back empty handed from the pageant. Thanks to all our support and that from her fans Tatiana took the title of Miss Internet at the pageant. Congratulations to Tatiana Rivero on a job well done!
Just one part of Easter weekend fun in San Pedro was Moose's Annual Children's Kite Flying Contest. It was a fantastic event that brought children and adults together enjoying the age old tradition of kite flying. There were prizes for the best kites decided by a panel of judges.
We took some pictures during delivery today as we noticed that the island is already in "Easter Mode" . Island activity has kicked up a notch as people flock to La Isla Bonita for some fun in the sun. Happy Easter to Everyone!

Water Supply restrictions in San Pedro, Ambergris Caye
- Press Release, Belize City, Belize. March 31, 2010 - Over the last 10 days, BWS has not been receiving adequate supplies of water from Consolidated Water Belize Ltd (CWBL), the private company that operates the Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment Plant on San Pedro, Ambergris Caye. BWS has been informed by CWBL that they have not been able to run the plant at normal capacity as they have been experiencing unusual matter clogging the filter membranes of the plant. CWBL further informed that they have not been able to clean membranes of this matter and that they have rapidly used up all their available spare membranes and have had to order additional membranes. CWBL is hopeful of having these additional membranes in country by tomorrow, Thursday April 1, 2010 in order to maintain adequate water production. BWS has been coordinating with CWBL over the last few days to try to maintain adequate storage to help meet the water demand over the Easter Weekend; unfortunately, it now appears that we may not be able to do so.
BWS hereby informs residents and visitors to San Pedro that, should the available supply continue to diminish, the company will have no choice but to restrict or ration water over the Easter Weekend. For health and sanitary reasons, BWS will attempt to keep any required water rationing restrictions to no more than a few hours at a time.
BWS reassures the public that the company has conducted tests on the water being supplied and confirms that the water is potable and safe for use. BWS has also informed the relevant regulatory authorities and the San Pedro Town Council of the water supply situation.
BWS apologies to San Pedro residents and visitors for any inconvenience that any necessary water supply restrictions may cause.
Belize Water Services Ltd. is committed to providing the best and most reliable service to all customers across the country.

In the words of Cyndi Lauper: “Girls just want to have fun!” And that’s exactly what we girls had this week as we went to Lynn’s Boutique to check out their new arrivals on clothing, accessories and more, just in time for Easter. This week Dorian’s Angels were accompanied by Raquel Badillo a San Pedro High intern at the office doing her office practice at Ambergris Today. Yes, she gets to do office work but it was only fair to invite her to join in the fun and be an Angel along with us. (Read more at Ambergris Today Online)
