Too hot to walk San Ignacio

We willen van dit eiland
af en weten waar we moeten zijn voor de tickets. Tickets kosten 20
BZN per persoon. Dan is het even wachten op de boot die er een
uurtje over doet om in Belize City te geraken. Daar begint de hetze
weer helemaal opnieuw: Taxi! Taxi! Do you need any help with

Un petit coin de paradis

Apres un trajet sans encombre en bus collectif, nous arrivons dans la petite ville de San Ignacio. Nous avons repéré sur Internet un endroit à une vingtaine de kilomètres de la ville, que les nombreux commentaires qualifiaient de "petit coin de paradis": le Barton Creek Outpost (www.bartoncreekoutpost.com).

Close encounters

The Mayan rulers of yesteryear had some frankly ridiculous names, Lord Smoking Shell (after the Americans had tried to "liberate" them?), Double Bird (what they flipped to those same Americans?) and King Moon Double Comb (a Korean with long hair?). But after our visits to the Belize zoo and the Green Iguana Project we might have picked up a couple …

Indiana Jone's Cave Tour

WOW. Today we went on the most fantastic cave tour. We started off with an hour hike through the jungle, learning about the plants and wildlife. Darn, we saw no snakes, even though the most poisonous were there around us. (Yesterday we went to a serpentarium that displayed such snakes) We got to the entrance to the cave and swam into the entrance. …

Feels like home

Chez Freemantle, San Ignacio, Cayo, Belize
Very hot and very humid

We left La Libertad behind on a morning full of promise; the heat haze began at dawn and we could tell just by looking at the sky it was going to be a scorcher. We were backtracking a route we had completed 2 months previously but we must be going mad …

Down on the Farm

Belize is still hot, not sure if I mentioned that before (Ha! Ha!) but we are all learning to cope. There is a lot to do in and around San Ignacio. Xanantunich are Mayan ruins just before the Guatemalan border. They are located on top of a hill with a beautiful view of the valley and Guatemala. The local bus dropped us at the bottom of the hill …

San Ignacio, Belize!

It´s september 4th already. As usual we´ve been really busy doing a lot of activities which left me little energy left to go and update...but now the tour has ended I can slow down a little bit on the activities and write a bit! So in short on August 28th we crossed the border into Belize. Crossing the border went without problems. We went to San …

The fantasticness of Belize

The fantasticness of Belize: Now that I have been living in belize for almost nine months, I feel that I have started to really come to understand the "Belizeness" of things. Belize is a country of randomness. Sometimes I feel like I am living in a cross between the land of broken toys in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the puzzlement of Pee Wee …

Hanging out in San Ignacio

It is a Saturday morning and the first day we haven't had any sort of training. I went to the fresh market with my host family and was once again amazed at the mass of fresh produce available in Belize. The papayas are as big as watermelons and the avacados are fresh and devoid of any of the wrinkles that are common in avacados in the Midwestern US …
