Hokol Kin Guesthouse Corozal

13th May Got out of bed to have a look around Belize City. Lonely Planet has some walking tours for most cities, so I decided to take the guide and follow the path. I must say, what a complete dump Belize City is. Absolutely nothing of value here! I´d say to anyone, get to Belize City before the last ferry leaves and just get out to the islands ASAP, NOTHING TO SEE HERE!!!! We got the ferry to Caye Caulker which took about 40 minutes. On the way we stopped at this island Jason Varcoe ...

... br>The ride in the speedboat was choppy heading out of the reef, enough so that I caught some major air! We stopped in the middle of the ocean with only one other boat in sight. The water was a deep blue surrounded by a lighter band and a full band of coral. I got into the water first and watched the divers descend into the cold blueness. The sudden temperature drop made all the hairs on my body stand up and I cautiously avoided swimming out into the ...

Dann gings weiter auf die Insel Caye Caulker. Also da kann ich einfach echt nur sagen: Paradies pur! Ich weiss nicht, ob ich schon mal so hammer krasses unglaublich schoenes und klares Wasser in meinem Leben gesehen habe. Falls ja hat es mich trotzdem erneut umgehauen! Das Doofe hier ist aber, dass es nicht so wirklich Plaetze gibt, wo man sich sonnen und baden kann. Nur so an einem Stueckchen ist es wirklich gut. Aber egal, das nimmt man dafuer schon in Kauf...;) Und Hauptziel hier ist ...

... see.  What there was, was excellent.  One of the temples stood yards above the jungle and sported panoramic views of the rainforest canopy. In the evening we went back to Lance's cousin Orlando's place for food.  We got chatting to Lance there.  Although I don't entirely trust him (he is clearly some kind of local mafia boss), we agreed to go out on the town with him.  I have already made it clear what type of town Orange Walk is.  So it was no surprise when the first bar we ...

... most other people went on the snorkelling trip. After the talk we went straight to dinner to a place called Herbal Tribe. I had snapper fish which was nice but more like chicken than fish. After dinner I went for a walk around the shops with Nilly, Eva and Eileen. There were lots of handmade jewellery stands. I also had to buy some suncream for $7! I then got an early night because im getting so tired after all these early mornings!

... who owns the Seabreeze hotel. Water front views and it's cheap, it's a sure fired winner for all as of course the taxi driver gets his commission too. Five minutes later we're up on the balcony enjoying the views over a few beers with another couple that have been soaking up the laid back way of life here for the past four days. If we thought Mexican time was slow then we're about to move down another gear. Duncan and Sara are both teachers who ...

... tropical island seemed too good to be true. I had read on the forums that reservations were not needed in advance for May on Caye Caulker; even when trying to book a place as popular as Treetops. Now that we were seeing the crowd heading to Caye Caulker, we started to worry about the likelihood of actually getting a room at Treetops and started evaluating backup options. Before we left the States, we had also decided that we wanted to ...

... the damn thing up! Never have I been so happy about the 4 months I spent as a girl scout when I was eight (on our first "mission" away I eloped under cover of darkness as I decided that the scouting lifestyle wasn´t for me - when are you ever going to need to tie a rope 124 ways!? but that´s a whole different story). Our three trusty crew members mixed up 10 gallons of rum punch which we sipped standing in the warm Caribbean Sea as the sun set. It was perhaps ...

... that the manatees did not come out to play. We went to three spots on the great Belize barrier reef (second only to the Australian). The first was pretty disappointing I thought, although there were still some interesting fish out, and someone else saw a turtle. I saw a lovely yellow trumpet fish, and lots of blue tangs (black with deep velvet blue trim). The coral was not the best. The second site was ...
