Breaking down in the jungle

DAY 301!
Barton Creek, Belize
I packed up and decided to head west with Katrijn and Eva. I was going to have to go to Guatemala no matter what, there is no vehicle ferry to Honduras. I would have a dilemma soon though since it seemed that is where all my new friends from Caye Caulker would [...]

The tragedy and the Irony* : Facebook sucks.

Caye Caulker,
My mum doesn’t facebook. She’s one friend I don’t need to add. She can read my blog to find out what I’m up to since I now don’t really do much email. That’s fine, facebook is personal.
Yesterday three girls from England arrive in the afternoon. I told them I was Swedish to appear more [...]

Hunting the elusive Manatee

Caye Caulker, Belize
Well, I enjoyed the Sea Hawk snorkeling trip so much I went again, I even got a discount, but then I figured I could have gone diving for a few dollars more… oops!. Maybe this time I would get lucky with the Manatees!

A week on a Caribbean Island

Caye Caulker, Belize
One week would never be enough but it would have to do. Caye Caulker isn’t the ‘la isla bonita’ Madonna sings about but it was a beautiful spot all the same. The time was right, I arranged to take Katrijn and Eva over to Flores in Guatemala and just about managed to catch [...]

Heading to the beach

Caye Caulker, Belize

I filled my backpack and headed down to the pier in time for the noon ferry over to Caye Caulker, a little strip of land that I should probably have gone over to the week before if Vanessa hadn’t distracted me :p At least the weather seemed more reasonable, the water was even [...]

Up the creek

Orange Walk, Belize
The night in the restaurant wasn’t too bad after all, and you can’t beat $5 us for a place to stay. We were up early getting prepared for the river trip up to the Lamanai ruins which we had booked with the river lodge. It was $40 us, the same as everywhere else [...]

Jaguars baby!

Orange Walk, Belize
I went to bed late after sorting out another million photos, certainly later than Vanessa who walk into the cheap hotel room, fell into bed and didn’t stir afterwards. She still thought it would be a good idea to wake me up as soon as she did though instead of leaving me in [...]
