... collection plus lots of explications. Hopefully if they get a bit higher volume of tourists in the future they might be able to maintain the current headcount levels and reduce the number of needed stamps..<br><br>Once in Belize, we started enjoying local generally slower ambience. We drove around a bit visited seaside Mayan ruins in Cerros and had a pleasure of using two family-run ferries, which, due to lack of bridges, seem to be the ...

... mound afforded us. Amongst the ruins there was a walk called "the mosquito trail". I like to think of myself a a pretty tough man. I can handle a few mosquitos - right? Wrong. I have never encountered so many mosquitos in my entire life, I a covered in mosquito bights in places that I don't normally mention in the blog. On the way back, it became clear why the way out was so easy: the current. I have never attempted something that was so ...

... witch looked really cool. We also saw tucans. The next day we travelled to san Ignacio via Belize city and the Belize zoo witch was fun we saw jaguars, pumas monkey tapirs and all sorts of national Belizean animals. The jaguar that they had there that day actually bit of the top of a tourists fingers when she fed it we didn't see it happen we were else where in the zoo.

... mannr of birds. Lamanai is older than most Mayan sites being occupied as early as 1500BC. The grandest structure with the not so grand name of Structure N10-43 is a huge late pre-classic building rising more than 34m above the jungle canopy. The whole site is enclosed by the surrounding jungle with howler monkeys screeching in the background. It was my favourite ruin so far. The next day i was going to head to the coast but decided to stay one more day to just relax, do washing ...

... The other three have been reburied under the layers of the new temples. This has been done to preserve the masks because exposure to the elements is slowly breaking the one mask exposed. Whilst here we were able to see a family of howler monkeys playing in the trees. After our visit to the site, about three hours it was back on the boat to return to Orange Walk, this time we were able to see a couple of crocodiles. Then it was back to the camp for the night.

After very little intermittent sleep we decide to get our day started. We walk/bus to a store for water and to search for breakfast. We decide on the Grand Oasis Hotel and ask at the front desk about a restaurant. We have all our bags with us. They direct us upstairs. We find it and are seated at a table for two. We notice it is buffet style and the wait staff seems to only be clearing. We ...

... shuttle driver pointing out a road on the way in and saying "There's the road into Cancun." How easily misled I am. At any rate, we took the line almost to the end, then jumped off when I mistook a Pizza Hut sign for an ADO sign. (They're both red and black.) A closed Pizza Hut. Since we were already out past most of the shops and restaurants, we headed across the street to one of the enormous hotels. We assumed surely the hotel restaurants would be ...

... an extraordinary Caribbean feel here. Things have mellowed here even more than in Mexico. Our bus ride was relaxed and there was no stress. We even met a Belizean Student named Bobby, who we are going to meet up with tonight at his Uncle's restaurant/disco. Everyone speaks rhythmically with a toned down Jamaican accent. The people are a mix of Black and Mestizo. Last night we got in and decided to find a place to sleep. We saw signs for a ...

So the next day I set my sights on Corozal. It was quite the adventure just getting to the bus stop with my 17 kg bag on my back my 6 kg bag in the front and my skirt rolling up my bum as i walked. I actually barely escaped the embarrassment of falling over on my back like a turtle as I made my way through the main square and tried to go up some steps. The public bus however was actually quite enjoyable, especially because of the salsa and jazz music blasted throughout the open ...
