Belizean Dreams Dangriga

... men hanging outside our door who went straight to their car and drove off after they saw us coming. Nothing was taken but we were very pleased to leave and spent most of the next day sitting in the bus station waiting for the first bus out of there!<br><br>2. Belizian bus rides - eye opening adventures! I should also probably mention the bus rides from ...

... where we were staying for the night before heading across the water to Tobacco Caye the next morning. <br><br>Absolutely amazed and mightly impressed at the sheer speed that the ladies could bounce their bums, before being joined by one of the guys in the bar to stimulate various sexual positions that I vaguely remember being featured in More magazine`s position of the month back in my teens. Not one to embarrass easily, even I felt I was perhaps intruding by ...

... you are. <br><br>4 more English students showed up today &#8211; they&#8217;ve come with medics away, and so have spent a lot of money for someone to organise their elective for them.. Despite this two of them were not expected. One of them is bitterly disappointed by the whole situation&#8230; there are now 11 english students in the hospital, and not enough for anyone to do, not really what you hope ...

... what they think about it all. I just hope that it takes off and manages to work, because I think that if a good relationship is built up it can only help a small hospital like Dangriga (as long as they don&#8217;t feel that they are being patronised). This week a Renal physician (Nephrologist in US speak) is coming over, so that could be interesting.<br><br>After the 5 minute hello with America we went off on the ward round and discovered that around 8 babies had been born ...

... increase in heat from &#8216;mild&#8217; to &#8216;hot&#8217; to &#8216;very hot&#8217; to &#8216;Belizean heat&#8217; to &#8216;no wimps allowed&#8217; to &#8216;Beware!&#8217;, and the jams were of all the fruits you find out here. We tried it all (yes even me!!!) I found that once I&#8217;d had some &#8216;very hot&#8217;, my mouth could no longer really feel the heat, also I was tending to put a tiny drop on a large bit of cracker!!! The jams were lovely, and banana ...

... choose from and made a simple and delicious feast! Speaking of wine...the day I arrived turned out to be Nana's 40th birthday so she, Brian, another traveler and I took her out to dinner at the local Chinese Restaurant. Nana wanted to order a bottle of wine and we took a look at the menu which had photos of the bottles. I was not feeling too enthusiastic about the choices when I ...

... times you'd get nothing and just have to tred water. We had helmets and headtorches on and so each time you looked up you got to see how tall the cave was and a lot of those stag-lerg-mites and stag-lerg-tights (im sure the phonetic spelling will help you pronounce it as much as it helped me spell it). We made it to the dry cavern where we saw lots of pottery that had never been removes from the cave. So where we saw it is where the Mayans left it. There wwre also ...

... game of soccer and others played games with the smaller kids. So many more friendships were made just by hanging out and playing with them. When we got back to the base, we all headed straight into the ocean. We swam around, bodysurfing and jumping into the waves until we had to get ready for dinner. Showering was a pretty great experience...we even felt clean for a few minutes before spraying ourselves all over with Off again. After dinner we went back to the village for bible ...

... houses along the road, freshly painted, with sloped, non-metal roofs that stuck out like sore thumbs which were clearly the property of either expatriots retiring in the area or somebody with much more money than the typical inhabitant of the area. The village of Cristo Rey (see Horseback Riding entry for pictures) was more of what I was expecting of the local villages when we planned the trip to Belize: a very sleepy little town with ...

... Break in Cancun, it has been my ambition, nay my dream, to experience this phenomenon. But on Tuesday 11th March 2008 dreams were no longer necessary, as I was about to LIVE the Real Cancun. And boy does it suck. Now obviously this world of ours throws up disappointments on a regular basis - X-Men 3, Martin Jol's third full season in charge of Tottenham, Paris Hilton's sex tape - but my Cancun Spring Break experience was like all of these things rolled into one and ...
