... at Belizean speed). A bit lost we went to a garage across from the bus station to see if we could buy a phone card for the local phones in case that worked&#8230; sadly they didn&#8217;t have any but the man asked where we were headed, and when we said he pointed to a house directly behind the bus station!!! A bit of a stroke of luck!!! <br><br>Maria cooked us some absolutely delicious chicken for lunch (we&#8217;re starting to love the local ...

... sea cow, even though we only saw the top of its back and its tail....those things are huge, and apparently very hard to spot. and here i was thinking we were gonna get to swim with them. they are even more elusive than sea turtles. boo on that. after our monkey river adventure we picked up our stuff at the condo and had quite the adventure catching our water taxi as we had to walk about 10-15 min in the POURING rain. the rain protocol for the ...

... cake. Lana is a congenial creole lady who will be turning 81 this year. There are no restaurants and no Internet cafes on Tobacco Caye so all lodging includes 3 meals and you're out of luck for Internet. Can't imagine why anyone would want to be in touch once they're here anyways. It was $35 U.S. per person at Lana's and they weren't kidding when they said she is a great cook. We ate ourselves silly and fell into a happy food coma.

... failed half way there but Clifford the rasta man fixed it with the inside of a biro. Yey. After waiting for a guy called Michael to come back from fishing to find out if we had a place to stay, we found out he didn´t so paid extortionate amounts of money to an 84yr old called Lara who put us up and gave us 3 meals a day. She had finally admitted to finding the place ´too much work´and it was up for sale for $300,000 dollars. So if anyone wants a house on a ...

... them. In 1796, after more than 30 years of fighting, the French surrendered to the British. In 1797 the British exiled the surviving Garifuna to Roatan, Honduras which was controlled by the Spanish. Half of them starved and died from disease on the trip. Although the British had supplied the Garifuna with tools and seeds, their arrival on Roatan was during the rainy season so they ...

... trick rather than annoyed at him for lying. As soon as we got to Punta Gorda we knew we would like Belize. Its like stepping into another world, and this world is just like all the postcards you get from various tropical destinations. Everything is painted bright colours and all the houses are made from wood and sometimes thatch, on stilts. Everyone walks a lot slower than anywhere else I've ever been and they have more smiles. It is also lovely not to have to speak ...

... heading to bed. We are all still exhausted after that sleepover, and it is going to be a long day in the sun, doing work projects and cleaning up the village. We all miss you, and please keep us in your prayers, especially for health and energy in the last few days of our trip. Lots of love!!! Mel PS. After reading this, Leah wanted me to add that there was a chicken foot in the stew Alice made us, which we all avoided

... end up using it for something and therefore validate her nagging. At least I can leave it in the car for the next trip. I have a 9 am appointment for the Van to get looked over the morning after I arrive, change hoses, belts, oil, and Tranny fluid. Basically give the car a good going over. I'm getting ...

Depois de sair de Caves Branch fui a Belize, onde passei a primeira noite em Cayo Culker. O tempo uma , bem, deixa pra la.... o lugar eh muito bonito. deixei a moto num hotel em Belize City e passei a noite la . Voltei a BC no dia seguinte, onde conheci um polones muito engracado e boa gente, morador de Connecticut nos EUA. Falamos bastante e ele me contou como participo do Solidariedade (ele ja tem 55 anos) e como procura aproveitar a vida hoje. Ele se chama Les e espero reencontra-lo.

This morning we decided we could travel on a bit so we have driven through Belmopan, the capital and carried on to the Blue Hole National Park. Today we have parked at the visitor centre and taken a stroll to St Herman's Cave. The cave is about a mile long, complete with a river running through it. We could go in for about ¼ mile without a guide, that said there were no guides here today. My back was too sore to go up and down all the steps so Mike went on his own ...
