Belize Lodge Belize City

... for excursions to other parts of Belize, including the Cayo District's caves and Maya archaeological sites along the Macal and Belize rivers. Belize City boasts the only manual swing bridge in the world and the oldest Anglican cathedral in Central America. Local Language: The official language of Belize is English!

We had a hard last night at Orange Walk...

I stayed at the bar to read a little, but end up talking with locals. They paid me some Rum, some local Wine, and Mangos with Salt and Pepper. (yeah that's spicy!)

We went to town and ate some local food. A little girl was working at the restaurant, and A thought it would be a good idea to drink a spoon of hot sauce to make her laugh. It was so worth it :)

We went back to the hostel ...

... a living situation with some friends who liked the idea as well.

Belize randoms:
-When hurricanes come, the Belizeans take refuge deep in the caves and into their various alcoves.
-Pineapples grow on plants, not trees...who knew? Only 1 per plant as well.
-The nuts of palm trees are burned to keep mosquitoes away.
-The Belizean catchphrases "YOU BETTA BELIZE IT!" "IT'S UNBELIZEABLE!" and "YOU GOTTA SEE IT TO BELIZE IT!" were funny the first time...not after 50 times.

After the pleasant days with Herve and famille, we needed to move on and continue on our trip and to get the bike to Guatemala City for repairs.   So we packed up again, and made Sylvain a license plate using photoshop, and put it on his bike.  After a long goodbye, we headed to the border with Meric. Crossing the border was relatively easy - except that we learned that because we had not stopped at the Mexican ...

... road slowed our journey back & as we reached town after 6 we ate at an exPat Italian´s place which was very good - Liz rated the pizza in her all time top 3 (Jordan Petra remains number 1). That took us back to Iguana Junction quite early & fellow Brit travellers Renee & Emily got introduced to the joys & pain of Backpacker on the deck. The aforementioned dogs (& music or chickens or birds) guarantee an early start & Jacqueline Tommy and I went horseriding ...

... of the greatness of this little Mayan city. It doesnt have half as many buildings as other sites such as Copan or Tikal, but its very well preserved and reconstructed in parts, and the main temple (The Castle) is just stunning to climb. The views from the top are endless. Best of all, the only other tourists were a bunch of Belizian boy and girl scouts on field trip. There was also a bunch of UCLA students on their summer assignment which was digging up ...

... them. After about 15 minutes, we reached the village of San Antonio and a brief stretch of pavement. San Antonio was a nice little town that seemed a bit tidier than Cristo Rey even. Looked like it would be a nice place to stay during a visit to the region. We left San Antonio and continued on up the very rough dirt road. After about another 15-20 minutes we turned left off the road and began to make our ...

... giving him a generous tip I headed back to the pool. I was not surprised at all to see that Tom, Sue and Greg had clearly ignored my advice and had arrived at sunburn. We hung around a while longer then called for a cab back to the hotel. We spent the evening watching football and having some dinner and went to bed fairly early. We had made arrangements to go to Caracol the next day and the trip started very early.
