The flight over to Belize was pretty memorable - and we got to see how beautiful the coastline is. Belize ( ex British Honduras) has the second longest reef after the Great one. My god it looks beautiful - I can't wait to get exploring down there.
Ocean will have to wait though as we have a boat ride up the new river into the Mayan archaeological reserve of Lamanai. The boat ride is meant to be a lot exciting - Lamanai means submerged crocodile - I'm looking forward to seeing a few little brown snouts on the way up....
Talking of exciting - the chicken bus we got here from Belize City was wonderful. It instantly got me back in traveller mode - the driver squashing as many people on as he could, random boxes of fruit being passed down the bus. The Belizeans seem to be an utter delight - really friendly, happy and chilled. We feel very happy to be here.
In other news we drank the local Belikin beer today ( tasty), a chicken burrito from a shack with a woman with the most amazing smile ( off the scale good) AND I got bitten through my trousers several times by some blood sucking monster flies.
The Belizean insects have a taste for me.........
