Belize!!!

After a night watching Titanic and a morning watching Robin Hood I was all set to head out through the forest and onto a boat! Boarding a local bus through Belize is one of the best ways to travel. The language is close enough to English to understand and the locals seem to love to laugh at each other, which is always good. Add to this a bus with twice as many people on it as God intended, and the sound of a Prodigy concert tuned to Reggae Christmas music and you have got the picture. I arrived in time to get the last boat to Caye Caulker which successfully managed not to hit any ice bergs.

The first night went well as I soon met some English, German, Norwegian, French, and Swiss companions who I could drink rum with. We headed down to the beach with the guitar and had an awesome night. The next day I moved into Tina's Backpackers where all the 'good' people seemed to stay. For the next few days I swam in the sea during the day and drank rum at Tina's in the evening! Excellent!

On Caye Caulker there is a 'split' where a hurricaine separated the island in two. This is the place to snorkel and me and my buddy Emily, and then Fi spent all day in the sea looking for sharkes, we only saw two though. We saw lots of rays, skate and puffer fish and an awesome eagle ray which was about 3-4 meters long - due to the massive tail and barb (which we all now know about).

Back to Tina's for food every day where I somehow managed to befriend enough resourceful ladies that I never had to cook, I just contributed some money (and the ipod and speaker) and food was put in front of me! Excellent. Thanks for that Chickitas.

All good things come to an end (so they say, although I think that's nonsense) either way the time had come to leave Caye Caulker, although most of the many people I have met are planning to come and see me on Utila which is bueno. So Julia, Elene and I headed off for an epic journey to Honduras!

More to come later!
