9 Regent Street West Belize City, Belize District, Belize, 501-227-3054
I arrived at Belize City's international airport late on Wednesday afternoon and quickly met up with another traveler, Jim, whose sister was coincidentally flying in on the same flight as my mother the next day. With so much in common, we shared a cab with Mason, our newfound friend and cabbie, who drove us into the city to find a hotel. After some debate I ended up at Belcove Hotel, which overlooked Haulover Creek and the Swing Bridge-the only working bridge of its kind in the world. After s...
Belize City, Belize sola...Well, sort of. I'll explain later. But first, what better way to start any adventure around the world than by riding MARTA to the airport. In just ten short stops from the Midtown Station you pick up such an education in life. Take hip hop music for example. Now I know to the untrained ear that it just sounds like a bunch of repetitive bump, bump, bumps punctuated by the occasional "f" word or slang for female anatomical parts. I can ...
Belize City, Belize District, Belize atlpilot36I woke at 5am with a rumble in my tum. "Hmm," I thought, "that feels like hunger". A tentative nibble at an apple and a bread roll produced no ill effects after half an hour. GAME ON! We were on the second tender across from our mooring to Belize City :) The Former British Crown Colony of British Honduras is about the size of Wales, but has a population of only 300,000 or so. It was renamed to Belize in 1973 and finally gained complete ...
Belize City, Belize District, Belize racinghippo... served with friend bananas as a sweet. Their big fish exports are snapper, catfish, and newly found tilapia. They also export bananas to the Chaquita company, oranges to Minute Maid, and seafood for Red Lobster and Long John Silver (which I found comical for some reason). Belize is actually below sea level and therefore many problems arise as the seasons change. When the rainy season comes the rivers overflow everywhere, rising 45 feet in some places. This covers many of the ...
Belize City, Belize ktowers86... who have but one thing in common. They all want to experience something of Belize and they have about eight hours to do it. Sound impossible? No, relax. Slow down, sit back and enjoy, as the Belize tourism board has coined it, "Mother Natures best kept secret". My job is to let people see what Mother Nature has created in Belize while flying and floating above it all. I fly for the only helicopter tour company ...
Belize, Belize heligypsy1979, and what a nefarious little island it was. Being then a young single woman travelling alone... But the snorkling was define. I was new at it and they took us about a mile out to the reef and scared us with shark stories which made it even more exiting!. Its still been the only place where I ate lobster in my scrambled eggs for breafast. I loved this place and dream of going back, though my hammock days are over a nice abode on the beach sounds right.
Cey Caukler, Belize sonna... Mayan remains. So arqueology in action...suck on that Indiana Jones! The place was so relaxing that we actually stayed there most of the day, enjoying a picnic on one of the many tables they have for that specific and intellectual purpose on site. We couldnt finish the day better than with a ride back from two US tourists in their rented car. They didnt voluntarily offer though...it appears Vero made sad faces at them when they got into their car as if ...
Xunantunich, Belize veromarcosHey all, Casey, Amy, Pastor Jim, and I visited another two schools today. They were the Zion Park Methodist School and the Lucky Strike gov't. school. We came back for lunch and then took the whole team to back to the Lucky Strike school to do a work project out there. The pics I will be adding are from the Zion Park school. There is also a video that I ...
Ladyville, Belize revdennis... both were stiflingly hot and we weren't excited about paying the $20 extra with nobody else there. The thatched roof room was much nicer inside. It was mostly tiled and just generally fancier looking compared to the linoleum floor and slight dinginess of the basic room. We were already paying $85 a night, though, which is fairly expensive for the area even with the included breakfast and dinner, and were trying to keep costs in check since ...
Cristo Rey, Belize boognish... br> <br>After a 10 minute hike through the wilderness, we arrived at the cave that we would be floating through. I have been tubing several times in the north Georgia mountains on the Chattahoochee, so I thought this would be no big deal. Boy was I wrong... The sights alone were breathtaking. To be floating through a huge hunk of rock that the water had carved a hole through was amazing! There were rock ...
