So my wife and I are spending a week here in Belize. We got here on Saturday late afternoon after taking a flight to DFW and then on to Belize City, finally hopping on a single engine Cessna turboprop called a Caravan. We landed on a sidewalk, er, I mean runway, in Dangriga and then took a 30 minute car ride over dusty pot-holed roads to a nice quiet resort just outside Hopkins. We are staying in a little cabin up about 15 feet on stilts in the jungle, which runs right up to the beach here (this is a coastal resort).
So far we've relaxed for a couple of days, but tomorrow are going diving at 7:45 in the morning on the barrier reef just off shore. Can't wait!
We've biked all over the place in the mornings and had a great, very inexpensive meal outside at this little hole in the wall place in Hopkins while listening to four guys who had a little too much beer pound on their drums and maracas, while making up the rythmic words as they went. It was actually really cool. We enjoyed it.
My wife and I are getting hammered by the mosquitoes and "no-see-ums", but are trying to keep them at bay with the "off" spray. Oh well, that's the way it goes Central America. We got hammered last year too in Panama.
Anyway, we're having agreat time and I've known many of you personally and through this forum for many years now, so I thought you might like to know of my adventures.
