Well that was a really dodgy entry to a country! We get off the "ferry" and had to get our own way to the immigration office on the other side of town. The captain still had all our passports, so we are pretty keen to get them back! So we waited for 45 mins wondering if we would ever see our passports again or be really stuck! They eventually came and we got our taxi ute to drive us the half hour to Omoa. Omoa was sweet! A quiet, little, holiday, beach town and the backpackers we stayed at was tops, [View Full Entry]

When you book a "ferry" for $55 U.S, from one country to another u"d think of a boat with lots of seating, shops for food & drinks & toilets. Not to be! It was a small h2o taxi with 2 small bench seats either side, that would only fit at max 30 people. We wait on the dock and this tiny boat rocks up & the sea was a bit rough & the captain had huge dramas getting the boat docked, way to enstall confidence mate! Shit will we make it?! Anyway we get off to a bumpy start but we [View Full Entry]

As we get off the H2o taxi and walk along the jetty, there is a mosaic sign greeting us. "Welcome to Caye Caulker, GO SLOW!" And this was the attitude toward life on the Is, chill out, relax, have a good time and go slow man!I look along the beach and i see palm trees, waterfront bars and reef, i think i'm going to enjoy C.C. We had originally planned to stay in Belize city but had been told it was shitty (& it was!) and to go straight to C.C. So we tagged along with most off the bus onto [View Full Entry]

Puff, pant! damn, finally at the top of a set of 80m high near vertical, dodgy wooden stairs. As we reach the top of the temple we emerge out of the top of the jungle shrouded in mist. We sit on the top step of this huge, really old temple as the mist rolls out and the sun reveals the tops of temple 1 & 2 and k's & k's of the canopy of the guatemalan jungle. A truely amazing experience. The journey from Mex->Guat was a bit of a painful experience. We'd booked a package to flores Guat and they [View Full Entry]

Tired? Nar, way past that! We left Mex city in the arvy a little hungover on the first day of the year! A 14 hr overnite bus, with no real sleep then we arrive in P @ 6 in the morn and got a cheap hostel (5 bucks). It would have been sooo nice to sleep but no rest for the wicked! We went to P for the runinas and all the tours went in the morn. We investigated doing a tour but they were all day tours, so being independant travelers we opted to do it on our own. We [View Full Entry]

We rocked up @ the [View Full Entry]
