Belize to Honduras
My friend Adam today to go back home so I am now on my own. The day Adam left I went into Placencia town to go to Tutti Frutti. Many people have said that this is the best gelato in Central America. I have to agree that it's outstanding. Nothing like ...

First Morning in Placencia
We had breakfast at the Secret Garden Restaurant. I had a Belgian Waffle. It was pretty good. They also have good coffee there. Then we walked along the "sidewalk" which is a long sidewalk in place of a street that goes along all the places in this ...
Crazy bus adventure
We decided to try out public transportation for our trip to Placencia. Our ATM cave tour was 15 minutes from Belpoman, the capital of Belize. Our cave tour shuttle held our luggage so when we were done they could drop us off at the bus stop for our ride ...
Relaxation
I wanted to maximize my time on the balcony of Julia's guest house since the view was so nice. We stayed until 10:30AM in which staying longer would have resulted in an hourly charge (but no, we didnt stay in a hotel that rents by the hour). We hired ...
Camping in 'Jaguar' & snake territory and tubing!
... at the safety sign which said 'tubing this way' next to a sign saying 'do not use inflatables in the river?!!!' This Belize safety stuff would do well in England.....not!! Thankfully no crocodiles live in this river and with the muddy brown water being ...

On Our Way to Placencia

I think I like it here
Well I think we left off on a day off. It was so good we decided to have two. We may be leaving the beach soon so we decided to work on our tans for a little while on the second day. Then we bought a bag a limes, we hear they help keep the sh-arts away, ...
Niu Countri!! - Belize
... . Apparently the Commonwealth did bring some higher level of life with it! There is only one bad thing in Placencia...internet is highly expensive ($8 Belize dolars per hour - $4 US). So...there will be no more entries until we start moving again. ...
Da beach
We stayed at ladyville for the first while. Nothing there but the airport. Wouldn't recommend it. The regular buses down to placencia all the drivers went on strike because of the poor condition of the buses, no brakes, worn out brakes etc. So we had to ...
Off to Belize
... Good beer too. And as for the food, we had an awesome (and cheap) Chinese. Not as random as it sounds...Belize has a significant Chinese population (although with only 300,000 people, Belize itself is smalllll). We stopped in Placenica/Mango Creek for ...
A Belize visa run

An expensive detour
... a dive shop and booked 2 dives for the following day and the whaleshark dive for Thursday. It wasn't cheap ($160US for 2 dives) but Placencia is one place you can dive with them and not just snorkel. The next day the weather hadn't improved. A wind was ...
Placencia
... Maya Beach Hotel were fantastic hosts (a couple of Aussies) and looked after us so well and had fantastic food (reputedly the best in Placencia). We ended up spending most of our day down the beach at another hotel as it's the low season so if you buy a ...

Few days in the sun on the Carribean coast

Pleasantly polarised in Placencia
