Really enjoyed Bella's. Had a sweet cabana outside on the lawn, glad to be outside as the main hostel would have been noisy. Great for meeting people and good location, close to The Split and beach area!

Bella's is a classic backpackers. Cheap, standard amenities and wifi, free canoes and bicycles, Jeff (mgr) is nice guy and great place to meet folks. Good alternative to overrun Tina's.

Swimming with sharks and stingrays
Day 116 April 29th continued - The boat only takes 75 minutes to land on a pier off the east side of Caye Caulker.

I try two more before I head north …
Cayes, Curry and Kike

On arriving at the bus terminal in Chetumal, we found a poster for a company that did just that, and we could buy tickets for it at the booth in the terminal …
Diving, snorling and just listening to the rain
Be warned long entry
Day 1 - Transit thru Belize City
Got a chicken bus from San Ignacio to Belize. Lot nicer than the Guatemalan ones but unlike Guatemal only two people per seat. Ended up standing for the first 30minutes and was happy I didnt have to stand for the last 2.5 hrs. Belize city definately looks dodgey. Its not even noon …
Go slow
Die folgenden Zeilen sollen euch erklaeren und entschaedigen, dafuer das wir uns so lange nict gemeldet haben. Da wir das Gefuehl hatten bisher sehr viel in unsere Ferien reingequetscht zu haben, dachten wir uns, dass wir ein bischen Ferien von den Ferien machen sollten.
Nebst dem Moto "Go Slow" hat die 10 km2 grosse Insel Caye Caulker …
In the middle of the ocean
After a smooth border crossing and what was probably the fastest trip ever through Belize City (about 20 minutes), we embarqued on the Caye Caulker Water Taxi for one of the offshore islands (called Cayes - pronounced Keys) of Belize. On the ride there we saw lots of ocean, some mangrove patches and a few ¨private island¨ houses, which were no more …
