Eventually, we made our way to Belize! Once crossing the border, everything changed immediately - different language (English), race (we look even more pale now), Reggae music everywhere and tourist stuff 5 times more expensive than in Guatemala.

We decided not to stay in Belize City and took the water taxi from there to Caye Caulker which is a tiny island with 1300 inhabitants, 2 roads and a lot of diving and snorkeling shops. And thats what we did there - as I have postponed my diving certificate to Honduras, supposedly one of the cheapest places worldwide, I went on a snorkeling trip, watching sharks, turtles and sting rays swimming next to me, while Betti did the Blue Hole dive (44 meters!).

After we got used to bumping into the same people all the time, waking up with Reggae music and being greeted by everybody, we went on to Placencia. This peninsula with 900 people has some great beaches with a lot of palm trees and hardly any people. Nice!

Tomorrow we are taking the ferry to Honduras which I am very much looking forward to. If you don’t mind those power point presentations full of palm trees, check out the Belize fotos. Cheers!
