... many different animals. There were loads of crabs on the banks who’d nip down into holes whenever we got too close, and the tree roots made amazing meshes and were no doubt the home to lots of little creatures. We also saw lots of birds, butterflies, spiders… and LOTS of bugs…. I have never sprayed so much bug spray in my life (a smell which I shall not miss when we’re back in England) but it must have worked fairly well ...

... seeing how one buys these huge lobsters without claws straight from his little boat he dived for. We're lobster lovers', we had lobsters for lunch with a die for garlic, ginger, lime, cilantro, and pepper butter. She sliced up some cucumbers with onion and carrot and added ginger, lime, hot sesame oil, honey, & black sesame seeds so colorful and very tasty. All is prepared right in front of us. We were amazed at what she did for us in her ...

... made quite a site. 16 ppl hanging off the back, front and sides of this little old truck as it tried to wined its was up and down the mountains. Talk about an action packed day. Sunday Steph and I said goodbye to our friends and began our journey on our own. Flores was our destination and it was a small little village out on an island in the middle of the lake. Considering Steph and I have been having problems with getting lost this place was a paradise, you couldn't get ...

... out of money (we didn't realize there are no atm's in hopkins) but made friends with this guy, Louie, and his brother, Jacques (so hot!), from South Africa, they lent us some money at first, and then ended up just buying us drinks all night. Bryan went home early (tired) but I stayed and danced the night away, so much fun! The rest of the time we spent just relaxing.

... to sea. It was certainly worth the wait. The creature was enormous and we followed for a hile before leaving it in peace. Following this momentour occasion, we snorkelled round the rest of the island, with no Bull Shark in sight, before triumphantly returning to the guesthouse to share the tales of our day´s snorkelling with our fellow guests. We begrudingly left the island the following day and headed north to Caye Caulker....

... will take you through the cave system. As you do so, beautiful and intricate crystalline formations can be found inside a cathedral-like supernatural world beneath the earth's surface. This is truly a relaxing and refreshing tour. Price for this tour is $60U.S per person Aerial Trek: The Aerial Trek Tour is a zip-line tour through a broad leaf rain forest.

... actually pushing us upstream when we stopped paddling. The Macal is a very lazy river. We eventually found the Crystal Paradise sign marking the end of our trip, but I was a bit confused since the sign's arrow pointed downstream and we ended up passing the exit point and having to paddle back upstream while a confused local boy swimming at what I thought was the CP exit point watched us. We tied up the canoe and carried our life ...

After a long and arduous journey i arrived in Belize City a little later than hoped. However Martin had been waiting at the rather dodgy bus station for me for several hours and we made our way down to Sittee River. I've been provided with my own room joining on to the cafe they have next to their property. With two fans (necerssary to keep the bugs at bay whilst im sleeping), a matteress ...

... of entering our little cabin, I had completely forgotten about Playa Del Carmen. Okay, so the last sentence never happened. In fact, just in case you are reading this Petra, I should confirm that nothing at all happened between us! Anyway, I guess I should actually describe Caye Caulker in some sort of detail. It is basically a tiny little island, just a few square kilometers in area, that can be reached via an hour long boat trip from Belize City. It has a very ...

... as I spent time here, most of the people tended to do the same thing, most without talking for very long. It didn't take me much time to put on my coolness, and the response, "I think you should buy me a beer," tended to work effectively. That night, I heard a knocking on my Cabana door at 3AM (I know times because I sleep with my travel clock on my stomach so I don't go reaching). Me ...
