hi everyone,
we spent the last 2 nights and 3 days on a 5 acre island off the coast of Belize called Tobacco Caye. We´ve taken lanchas (small boats that should not cross the ocean) cabs, buses, more buses and more cabs.
Our boat over to the island, let´s say I was thinking I might have died that day but n the end, we hit land, that was all we cared about. It was scary, only 3 of us in the boat made it very light and i thought able basically blow over.
Waving palms
Beautiful sunsets
lovely sunrises
homecooked meals
We stayed at a place called Lana´s on the reef
This island is 5 acres large, so able to cross it in like 1 minute all around. The boat ride is about 40 minutes across. 20 people live there full time, the rest are tourists coming for a day or more.
We did love it, very relaxing Walk off the shore or jump off the dock and see fish, eagle rays, manta rays, stingrays. Casey did a fishing trip which did not result in alot but he got out on the boat lets just say. Met some interesting people from Holland , US and of course some cool Belizians.
Left this morning at 9 am after a nice breakfast cooked by LAna. A much nicer ride back to the mainland and we dashed off Amazing Race style to get our bus to Belmopan City, the Capital of Belize. Got there early but that´s ok, sometimes gettign on a bus is like the WWF. Bus to San Ignacio, then the border of Guatemala. Pay our stupid exit and entry fees and then a cab to Flores.
Cool town built with a lake around it. Met some more people from the Netherlands while scoping out the ATM machines which did not work (we had no money) and then went for pizza and a few beers with them.
Casey is going to catch up on NFL scores and we will probably go to bed early. We are going to Tikal tommorrow, more Mayan temple climbing.
Stef and Casey
