Belcove Hotel Belize City

... you *****ing on me bro" etc.

I made it to my guesthouse being stared at, asked for money and offered drugs, in one piece, but the place was locked up (for safety). The guidebook advised never to go out alone at night, or even in pairs and that it was best to be in a group in the day too and never go down a quiet street and so i was thinking i had made a huge error and should maybe stay in the guesthouse until i could make my escape in the ...

... bleu celeste and azure. The plane continued on to Punta Gorda and I wish I had the time to continue on with it. I imagined all those battered old schoolbuses down below us bouncing down bad roads between Belize, Dangriga and Placencia. Part of me kinda wished I was down there with them on a journey that takes seven hours rather than 40 minutes.

After a relaxing night on ...

... around us a lot of time... asking the same questions! "They twins?" "Girls, boys?" "Who's the mommy?"! Without exaggeration, I'd guess we get this about 25-30 times daily here! But... they're a hit we suppose!  More pictures to come tomorrow morning....we have figured out that our internet minutes are 2 for 1 between 8-10am, and since we are up anyway might as well save some $$. :o)

... 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 ...

... de ces 3 jours pour faire une balade en canoe (sans creme, nous pensions partir pour 2h et revenions finalement epuises a la tombee de la nuit. Se sentant pousser des bras a la vue de chaque nouvelle criques inhabitee que laissait entrevoir chaque nouvelle anse de mangroves que nous depassions, Alex voulait toujours aller plus loin. Moi, ne voulant pas montrer de signe de fatigue avant lui, je disais 'OK, pas de probleme'... Puis au bout de la 5 ou 6eme ...

... safety of our 20-passenger van. Sunday school is different here, it happens before the regular service, and then all the kids go home and some adults come. It was evident that we were missed yesterday when we didn't go into the village at all, because there were about 10 kids on the dock waiting for our boat, and the church was completly packed with kids, excited to see us, and sing the same songs we have been ...

... Bob and Bette: Today God blessed us wit a second day of overcast skies but the rain was overnight. He gave us a gentle brreze to evaporate the sweat. He had yellow and green birds sing above us and blue butterflies that flew around our heads. There were mangos that fell at our feet. Some people would call these coincidences. I pray they find out otherwise before they miss heaven.

... skinny white guy, but for some reason I just wasn't in the mood today. So I explained this to the lady, and after a brief discussion she agreed to let me off, on the proviso that I agreed to go straight back to the Mexican border, from where I entered the country, to get my passport stamped. Obviously this came as a bit of a blow, but after a few minutes I was pretty much over it. When you have 181 days to travel across Central America, 1 or 2 wasted days don't seem as ...

Having a Belikin beer at the hotel bar, sitting on the patio, you can see across the Belize river. Friendly local fisherman will come over and start telling you tales of their adventures at sea. Don't be so gullible when they show you their battle scars from the catch of the day.
