Cerros Beach Resort

Not much going on today. Last night it rained for about half an hour, it was that the temperature cooled down.  Scott was up at 5 to let the pups out to go play, I ended up sleeping in.  We enjoyed some cinnomon bread and meat pies at home from June's kitchen that we had purchased a few days ago.  Breakfast was good.  I started some house cleaning but didn't get far, it's hard doing ...

... them up in Spanish. Despite the fact that English is the barmaids' first language. They won't get very far with the barmaids. They both have boyfriends - Tom's already checked. One of the American guys has just turned to me and asked (to show off that he can) "Do you speak Spanish?" "No." I said. "Only English." but at least I speak it properly. Tomorrow we're off to Ambergris Caye - an island off the Belize coast. Which definitely has a beach.

... narrowed her eyes, and said slowly: "Do...you...speak...English?" Belize has a relaxed, Caribbean feel to it.  It's hot and humid and they play steel drum music on the buses.  It puts you in a good mood. We were met off the bus in Orange Walk by Lance, a local tour guide, who offered to book us on a tour to the ruins at Lamanai (which is the real reason that we had come to Orange Walk).  We don't like to be pushed around, so we said that we would think about it.  Lance ...

Jeste 21. prosince odpoledne jsem se rozhodl, ze vyrazim smerem do Belize, i kdyz spoustu lidi rikalo, ze je to velmi draha zeme, ktera nenabizi nic, co by meli jine zeme. Nakonec jsem ale zjistil, ze tomu tak uplne neni. Co bylo pravda, ze to neni uplne levna zeme. Druheho dne dorazim do Belize kolem desate rano asi trema autobusama po 16 hodinove ceste a hned vyrazim se stestim na vylet do Lamanai, coz bylo nejdele obyvane mayske mestecko s pristupem k rece. jelo se ...

... found us a tarantula so in my hand it went - but not another first for Tommy.... We wandered the town that night - there are lots of Mennonites here - think of a cross between the Waltons & the Amish, dungarees, hats & in-breeding galore. To night we had the success of Tommy´s Chinese Restaurant and bizarrely found the Wizard of Oz on the tele. Breakfast at the local(greasy spoon) cafe & its the chicken bus back to Belize City

... to see the top of one of the pyramids showing above the tree canopy, as we found out later this pyramid is now about 11 stories high but the Spanish recorded it as being 25 stories high. On arrival we had a salad lunch which was very nice and then the guide talked about what we would be seeing. We started at the local museum which had a few items in it. We were told that their where actually a lot of nice items found at the site but the security of the ...

... surrounded by others, i think it may double a s a brothel. The housing is similar to Mexico except maybe a little more stories on the houses and more twig and thatching rather than concrete and brick. We have booked a tour to Lamanai (Mayan for "submerged crocodile") with Jungle River Tours for tomorrow with some travellers we met in the hostel. This in an archaeological reserve on the New River Lagoon near the Settlement of Indian Church.

... der var i stand til at lave imponerende bygningsværker og som havde datidens fremmeste astronomiske viden og kunnen. Hvordan har det været at leve der, i denne civilisations storhedstid ? Og hvordan kunne så relativt få spaniere på et ret kort åremål underlægge sig området, inddrive skatter og nedbryde det meste af af Mayaernes kulturarv.? Det er ret tankevækkende. Selv i dag er Belize meget tyndt befolket. Bare en kvart million på et areal der er på størrelse med Jylland.Fra ...

... hand and started pulling me to the bus that we need to be on. We got on the bus and off we were. When I went to pay for my bus fare (about 20 minutes into the ride), I immediately realized that my wallet was gone and no where to be found. ****! It was totally those little kids at the bus terminal. I had always thought I would notice immediately if it was gone or that I would feel the bump that they do to distract you. But I felt absolutely nothing. I have ...

... me in the direction of a cheaper hostel for my stubborn march)! I soon met Charlotte from charlottes web Internet cafe, when i asked for a recommendation for lunch she said simply come with me I´m on my way now. We were then joined by perry a jewish man from Miami looking to move down to Belize with his new costa rican wife and adopted daughter, interesting fellow, somehow by dinner we also picked up a lovely dutch? fellow aswell. In short the people here are good people. The ...
