caye caulker islands

Yesterday was such a great day,decided to go on a boat and go snorkelling but didnt think wed see so much,so relaxing and i cant believe i actually got into the water with sharks...A little scary!We saw three turtles,a big fat manatee and all sorts of crazy coloured fish, barracudas-needle fish and sting rays...ruth swam under a cave.Laughed all day and the captain of the boat made potent rum for the trip home...and of course the reggae music was on....2more days here and then were jumping on a sailboat so we'll be sailing for 3days down as far as Honduras.Camping on islands for each night....something so relaxing about being on the water all day...

belize

BELIZE

im not doing a great job at this blog am i?just got to belize yesterday......its like jamaica......so unbelievable,everyone is so friendly and reggae music blasting out every window...everyone is so chilled out and we ended up finding the most random brilliant hostel,once again totally landed on our feet....next door to the hostel there was a belizean family, a crazy family who called me and ruth and an american guy,an english guy and a canadian girl from the hostel over to drink on their porch...we stayed their for hours and they were hilarious...who'd think that you could have such fun on a porch with a bottle of rum and reggae music and a guitar....picking up the creole,such a mad language..broken english-very interesting, a little hungover today so gonna jump straight on the boat over to the islands and go snorkelling....the mosquitos are in love with me....feelings are not mutual.Have learned not to listen to what people tell you about certain places, belize was supposed to be horrible and dangerous and a dump and weve had such a great experience here...daniella, the belizean girl wants us to come back over on friday to take us out to party here....weve plans to rent an island in honduras and then go to the sunjam festival on august8th, which is apparently one of the biggest music events in central america...
