Teresa climbing a Lamanai Temple - great view of the River and Jungle from the top.
Belize is a crazy mix of cultures, everyone is really friendly (sometimes creepily so) but always helpful and everyone says hello. The chicken buses aren't nearly as bad as everyone makes out (no chickens so far), although for a taller person the lack of leg room (these are old US school buses) is a bit painful after a few hours, luckily Belize is small so we travelled from Belize City to San Ignacio (almost at the Guatemalan border) in 2.5hours and we stopped lots to let ppl on and off and stopped for 20min at the capital Belmopan (has a population smaller than Hawera).
Moving so fast through these countries but having lots of fun, Teresa is even finding lots of food she can eat (mostly vegetarian, no spicy food, no sauce).
Got some money out in Belize city, US$600 but cost me a lot in fees with the bank, govt tax and the cut they take (1.75%), and that doesn't include TSB's fees, so that kinda sucks! (wasn't quite so bad in Mexico). It's really really hot, have to drink so much water cos even sitting still we drip sweat (kinda gross!!), getting used to sleeping like a starfish though!! Always going with the rooms with a fan helps, but not much.
Internet costs 3-5 us dollars an hour so can't write much.
