Hallo zusammen Hier nur ein ganz kleiner Bericht. Wir waren ja, ca. 1 Woche in Belize auf der Insel Caye Caulker...., Fotos von der Insel werden noch folgen, da sie noch auf dem Chip sind. Die Insel hat mir super gefallen. Motto der Insel ist: "go slow" ! Ueberall hoert man, "yeah men.... go slow"... :-) wirklich ein Oertchen zum entspannen und die Seele baumeln lassen! Nachdem wir ca. 6 Jahre nicht mehr getaucht sind, haben wir uns wieder daran gewagt und wir hatten viel Spass! Zuerst machten wir zwei nicht so tiefe Tauchgange.... bei "Hol Chan" (ein Naturschutzgebiet), damit wir uns wieder ans tauchen gewoehnen. Ging alles super. Ebenfalls machten wir noch einen Schnorchelausflug mit "Juni", das ist ein 72Jahre alter Belizianer...... und der Ausflug war wirklich super..... er erinnerte mich ein bischen an dem ... read more

Sunday 29th August We passed through Bacalar Lagoon and Chetumal and our decision to miss them out was a wise one as these two towns are a bit run down. dont get me wrong we could stay here but caye caulker sounds more appealing and we just want to have a good long stay in one location. So we arrive at the ferry port in Chetumal and once we got passed the sniffer dogs and military security we were on our way across chetumal bay in a really quick water taxi. There were about 30 of us on this 25 ft boat which had three 250hp outboard motors. Most of the passengers were people that lived on the islands. we were told they use the boat to go to the larger supermarkets on the mainland to ... read more

Loving Caye Caulker more and more as I'm here longer! Have had a great couple of days! Wednesday was a day just chilling in the sun and the sea by the beach as we were feeling a little tender from OCEANSIDE nightclub the night before! Was a very funny night and a late one! Have got very friendly with the group of 11 that we met on the bus from Guatemala - they are all couples/one group of three that have met along the road. Paul (english) and nic (australian) are from London and have been travelling for years, have some great stories and at 38 Paul is the dad of the group!

Disclaimer: Due to the terrible way this website works we are unable to rotate photos so apologies for those that are sideways or upside down! We went from Antigua to El Zonte in El Salvador, a beautiful little fishing village on the coast. There our surfing lessons began, we both managed to stand up a few times but Marshall had more success than Heloise. Our hotel was lovely with a pool and parrots and amazing fresh seafood, Marsh ate a whole fish! The surfing was great fun, but we were very tired when we got back to Antigua a couple of days later. Now it was time to go north, we headed out of Antigua up to Semuc Champey, turquoise pools in the jungle. As we were trekking through we heard howler monkeys and then we ... read more

From Havana, I flew back to Mexico, (Cancun) and traveled onwards to Playa del Carmen, a town I had been before when I was traveling with my friend Jan in 2002. It's a very touristy place, but offers good accommodation, restaurants, nightlife and organized activities like diving, something I intended to do here. After 5 days of walking around Havana, a few days of chilling out were also welcome. In this part of Mexico (the Yucatan peninsula), there are a lot of "cenotes", or wells, big holes in the ground, filled with water. And you can dive them! Interesting, and something I had not yet experienced, so I booked a morning trip to dive two cenotes. It's strange at first, because you jump into the water, surrounded by rocks and trees, whereas normally you just jump ... read more
