Heading into the jungle...

... morning and then return to Blancaneaux by nightfall. "Actun Tunichil Muknal is a cave in Belize, near San Ignacio Cayo, notable as a Maya archaeological site that includes skeletons, ceramics, and stoneware. The ceramics at the site are significant partially because they are marked with "kill holes", which indicates they were used for ceremonial purposes. To reach the cave, requires an easy 45-minute hike into the jungle. The ...

Day 3 and 4

... of locals who have volunteered to step in and assist if there is ever a hurricane, flood or any other disaster where additional help would be needed. Laurel and Ryan have lived here on and off for the past 3 years and told me a little about Belizean attitudes and way of life. They said the last meeting of CERT started about an hour late (as per usual Belizean custom...) and the next hour was spent discussing how important it is to be on ...

Nature madness!

... leader give a speech about how the village came to be and where they are headed. synopsis is a bunch of mayans moved there to start a hippie commune, it didnt work out, they tried farming citrus, that didnt work, they used the jungle to survive and then the white man kicked them off their land with no compensation. fortunately they are resilient and found a way to live off the tourists that now come into the area to the sanctuary. Hes got a ...

San Ignacio - Belize

... all the birds and jungle animals in the area. This is the first time we Could properly see the place which was located right on the river! We spent the entire day tubing down the river. There were a few good sets of rapids, alot of just floating, and these weird little fish that bite at your dead skin. That felt bloody weird. Belize was so expensive compared to Mexico and what Guatemala was going to cost. There was plenty to do in the Cayo district ...

Day 1 and 2

... Belize are not like anything I have seen before: everyone drives, walks or rides their bikes all at once with seemingly little regard for each other. Somehow it all just works out, which William says is typical of the Belizean way. At one point, the truck in front of us loses a box. A boy on a bike in between us and the truck stops to check what was in the box and William swerves, narrowly missing him and the box which we could ...

Arright!

... der dabei aufgewirbelt wurde, hat dabei die ganzen Pflanzen bedeckt und alles ganz silbrig aussehen lassen. Das ist uebrigens der erste Grenzuebergang bei dem ich dachte: Oh wow, JETZT bin ich in einem anderem Land. Belize ist gaaanz anders! Hier spricht man Englisch, Kreolisch, Spanisch und ein paar Maya Dialekte. Wenn man will kann man Mennoniten besuchen und auch deutsch sprechen :). Die Leute hier sind ...

Belize? Why Belize?

... siesta with my wife. In the evenings, I go into the village to see my friends, have a few laughs, play the guitar, and sing a few songs. I have a full life." The American interrupted, "I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you! You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat." "And after that?" asked the Belizean ...

San Ignacio (Cayo)

... jungle lodge, and after multiple test shots, we decided to buy 3 bottles for the evenings festivities, consisting of 'coca-lua', 'bay-leze', and coconut rum; homemade and all very smooth - yum! then more bone jarring pick-up excitement back to Barton creek for far too much alcohol consumption, and off canoeing of the cave. somehow, in the moment it made sense that we did these tow activities in that order WTF? surprisingly enough the canoe/cave combination ...

More Mayan Ruins in the jungle of Belize!

... stoned and drunk, he appeared a cool kinda guy with lots of advice for us and the wooden shack style room was cool too. That eve we all had one thing in mind, food, and finally sat down to our first proper meal in 3 days, bliss! Feeling rough again after though I chilled whilst Ads and David sampled the local pub with a few beers for our last night in Belize... Our last day in Belize saw us sucked into an old scam, not good, we thought we were wise to ...

I WILL STAND FOR CHRIST!

... tune into the radio for God inspired encouraging music and programs that reach and network the nations from Canada to Belize and beyond! In final summation of all I have said, first this is what God has been showing me , I had been praying for this for years but He waited till I was in the right place at the right time. Their isnt a magic formula for having God reveal Himself to you, but rather guidelines given to us by ...
