14 Main St Orange Walk, Belize, 501-322-2290
Today we the Jungle Rivers Tour to Lamani with Igancio Lino. He was an awesome guide and he'd studied archeology for several years so he was very good at answering our questions - he also had a real sense of humor. On the river we took a branch to the sugar factory and had a look at that, they were loading the brown sugar into these really rusty barges. (We tasted it as it came out the chute.) However the barges were blocking the river so he told us we couldn't go to Lamani - what did we want...
Orange Walk, Belize dtofsrudMost of you probably know that US school buses go to die in Central America & we took one up to Orange Walk town, just under 2 hours of local reggae too. Just remember they are designed for american school kids & small mexicans. The leg room just about worked. They are known as Chicken buses (as thatīs what they donīt mind carrying). Good fun for up to 2 hours. We are off the main tourist run now & had a medocre KFC type experience at what passes for the best restaurant in Orange Walk, beware...
Orange Walk, Belize pilgrim143Once again, we were up bright and early and down to the ferry dock for Corozal at half past six. When we got there, they told us that ferry wasn't running because of rough water. So we sighed, walked a few hundred feet across the island to the other ferry dock and immediately boarded the express ferry to Belize City, which told us they always run, no matter the conditions. It may have had something to do with the direction of travel, or it may have had to do with the much larger number of peo...
Orange Walk, Belize wktsorfThough being prepared for our trip to Lamanai by 9 am was still something of a hassle, it was nothing compared to our previous 6:30 call times. We even had time for breakfast next door at Luigi's, where I was able to continue my "fryjacks every day" routine. (Luigi's is the best place we've found in Orange Walk, but it's not open very long.) The boat dock for travel down the New River turned out to be very near the hotel, so we walked over and found our guide. About nine other people were in ...
Orange Walk, Belize wktsorfHello, Cross border trafic was easy even if the customs officer gave me the most thorough grilling I've had for a long time... This caribean country really is just like home: No matter how many car wrecks there are in each front yard - the lawn is meticulously kept! And most taxis are Mercedes! (About ~'85 models). But then again, no, people here walk much slower! b.
Orange Walk, Belize pfaelzerbub... largest bird in the Americas and as soon as we got to the visitor centre we were able to see five different storks feeding in the lagoon. The village is set on an island in the middle of the lagoon and we are parked for the night in the grounds of one of the hotels. 8th.- This morning we went for a three to four mile walk looking at some of the various coloured birds. As ...
Crooked Tree, Belize mikeandmary... booming call and both birds are a shimmering blue in colour with bits of red and yellow and have what looks like orange warts on their beaks. It makes a very nice place to stop for a couple of nights. 6th.- This morning we drove to the Mayan ruins of La Milpa with the manager of the station. He was our guide for about 3 ½ hours as we toured the sight and were introduced to the Belizean jungle. The ruins themselves ...
La Milpa, Belize mikeandmary... if you are bitten you can only walk five steps before you collapse! You´d never see a group of people move so fast. Shades of Kill Bill! Although the ruins were not on the scale of Tikal they were still impressive and had some interesting parts. They had a ball court where they used to play a game a bit like keepy-uppy but they had to get the ball through a hoop. Some ...
Orange Walk, Belize john_and_julesWe wake and head two door down to Luigi's for breakfast. Quite good, actually. Eggs with tomato and onion to me. Next up, Lamani tour. We're not big on tour guides generally, but Lamani is quite difficult to get to and generally requires a boat ride 32 miles or so up the New River. On the way there, we spot several birds species and some fruit bats. Our guide Wilfredo tells us the fruit bats are the 8th wonder of the world. It's quite chilly ...
Orange Walk, Belize azmarine... blev her i sommer, - igen - igen - , hårdt ramt af en orkan og mange lande har sendt betydelige støttebidrag til genopbygningen. Nu beskyldte han premierministeren for at bruge disse penge til at føre sin valgkamp for. Katastrofeofrene, der havde mistet hus og ejendele i stormen, havde her to måneder efter ingen hjælp modtaget. Men de havde vel næppe heller stemt på denne Said Musa alligevel.Da jeg var blevet færdig med at spise, stod ministeren stadig og talte på en lille ...
