you better belize it

visited Belize for two weeks or so during the christmas period. (had to leave Guatemala as my 90 day visa was up)

first town we stayed in was San Ignacio close to the border. an adventure getting there as it had rained for the last week or so so all the roads leading to the border were just full of mud and no bus could go through. ended up having to get on the back of a pickup which came close to tipping over at one stage. met a local in San Ignacio who told us of this little known waterhole in a close by village called Cristo Rey so we got a taxi there. after asking a few people we finally found the spot. really cool chilled swimming hole.

eventually left it for Dangriga. needed some beach time.

not quite as good as we expected the actual beach (not enough sand and a bit dirty) so we went further south to ...

Placencia. now this place was pretty cool. it also has the worlds narrowest main street. which is a metre wide walkway that winds parallel to the beach. relaxed town

...


had a dream i was skating. woke up very happy


while in Placencia we went swimming one night and there was phosphorescence in the water. it looked amazing as you moved and swam around

in Ambergris Caye. one arvo Khris and I (Khris and Steph came down from the US for xmas) sat at a bar w/ some of the worst music (some redneck country music, no seriously one of chorus lines was "I'm just a redneck in a rock'n'roll bar") and there were a few kids out playing in the water for ages. looked so much fun

nice poses hej? me, Khris, Steph, Anna and Chad

beautiful synchronised diving

our christmas dinner (christmas eve)

in Caye Caulker w/ Anna. loved this island.

little girl who was singing along to the music she was listening to. another day we were lounging on a dock and we could hear a fewgirls singing out by beach. just for the fun of it. it was so cool

watched lemony snickets or whatever that film was called. really good costume design and general cinematography

Central Farm. didn't get enough time to stop here, which i wanted to do as i was going to try and get a photo of a house where Charles (who i worked w/ in Sydney) used to live in about 40 years ago. would have been cool... maybe next time. who knows
