We've spent all our time on the beach or with our new friends, drinking and eating good food. Two d...

It may be a neighbouring country of Guatemala, but Belize is another world. The big bellies and even bigger smiles of the Creoles, Garifunas and any other wanderers who came to Belize is a welcoming sight.
