Blowing in and out of Belize....

---

Lasting all of about 17 hours, my stay in Belize was the briefest of any country yet. A good thing that too as it was at least twice as expensive as any other place I have been thus far, and the local brew (Belikin) was rather flat and flavourless. Despite this damning assessment, my time in Belize was noteworthy for the emotional dockside reunion that took place there between myself and Luke "Nordberg" North. Having not see anyone I knew prior to my departure from Melbourne in around 4 1/2 months, it was fantastic to catch up with one of my best mates, and even more so one who had himself travelled through South America. It was a great opportunity to swap a few stories, and tell a few tales of my own which had fallen foul of the censorship committee of this blog....

I don't think I've ever stayed this close to the water before

name of hotel
The place you stayed at looks great! What's it called? How much did you pay? Thanks.

I can't remember what the place was called, but it was right up near the petrol station, around the corner from the jetty. It wasn't cheap, maybe Us$20 a night or so?
