Belize, that sounds like beach and sun! Yeah. That was the plan after seeing some more caves and ruins. But when I heard the prices of tours in Belize I changed my plans even not beeing in the country yet. ;-) So when I booked the bus ticket it was straight to Belize City not stopping at the caves or ruins as planned. Too expensive and I had all that in Guatemala already so I thought let's go and do some diving!
In Belize City I took the ferry to Caye Caulker and ended up in a very nice hotel for a change, that was almost luxury compared to what I was used to. I shared the room with girl from New Zealand (Gina) and met some other nice people from Guatemala City (Belen and Hugo) and the states (Agnieszka). Also Sibila and Cecilia were there. And it was great to hang out with all of them at the Lazy Lizzard sunset bar for happy hour every day. ;-)
We had big lobster and shrimp BBQ for only 7 Dollar per plate, amazing!
Of course I had to visit the blue hole for a dive. That was a full day trip, two hours ride to the outer Cayes, lunch on Halfmoon Caye and beautiful diving. A perfect day! It was rainy season so every price was somehow negotiable and so I got some great deals even in expensive Belize.
After a few days on Caye Caulker I travelled to Placencia in the south of Belize. I met a nice German girl there, Nora, and we spent some time together. Almost every day we went to Lisa's place for some homemade ice tea and chocolate cake! Super tasty! We went out diving on Silk Cayes and decided to go to Honduras Utila together. But before that she went back to Belmopan and I enjoyed some lazy days in a perfect little beach cabana.

All I did was hanging out with some local new friends (not many tourists around in low season), eating more chocolate cake, reading three or four books, lying in my hammock and celebrating independence day there. The party was over the weekend and they were dancing the whole time. Their dance is called Punta. I am a big dancer but this is something I don't want to learn! ;-) If you can imagine this style is like sex on the dancefloor, haven't seen anything like this before! Crazy!
Later in the week Nora came back to Placencia and we took the boat down to Porto Cortes in Honduras together. This is when my time on Utila started.

Hallo Linda,

Ich glaube dann bist du schon in Columbien!? Also weiterhin eine schöne reiße und nicht vergessen viele, viele Fotos zu machen, damit wir auch etwas von deinem Südamerikatrip haben.
