Sun, Beach and Rainforest=Perfect

So, I am back from my quick trip to Belize and getting back in the grind. There were so many great things about the Belize. The people were really nice and sweet. The food was amazing.  I love Caribbean and Spanish food so it was right up my alley. There were so many choices and restaurants were accommodating a with my vegetarianism.  Belize kind of reminds of you the Caribbean but kind of doesn't. The beaches are different not sandy white and sky blue( at least not walking on the beaches I saw). Now when you were in the boats farther out the water was blue and you could snorkel and see so much. However,  their vibe is extremely relaxed . As opposed to St.Kitts and Nevis  where every thing is extremely laid back and easy. I did not feel like things were on island time. I know it does not seem like a big thing but its noticeable. I mention St. Kitts because that is where my family is from( fathers side).  Its the island that I visit the most.


The highlight of my trip was when I went to the Mayan Ruins,  Cave Tubing and Zip lining. It was one of the best experiences I ever had. To see the Mayan Ruins was mind blowing that something so magnificent could be built like that so long ago. I was impressed how maintained the ruins were.

The Cave Tubing was spectacular. To see the bats and the indentation of animals that were in the cave. In addition, a hot water spring was in the cave as well. By far the best thing I did on the trip. I dont have any photos because no water proof camera. Next time I will be ready. I am searching for one now.

Zip lining is something I am a big fan of. I try to participate in this kind of activity if offered. This time it started raining at the 4th platform. I was a little nervous. However the guide said " Its a rain forest of course it is going to rain." I laughed so hard my stomach ached. It was grape size rain though and that is big to me. I think he thought I was a wimp and I am!

The police station kind small and looks like a cute house

Lastly, just rented a cart and toured the island. Saw resorts, houses, turtles, snakes, monkeys etc.
