The Road From the Rio Dulce to Belize City
Blog: Viva Latin America! - 23 May 2011
Maybe we were unwise, but we wanted to get up to Belize City from the Rio Dulce in one day. We had considered stopping in Placencia for a night but due to our tight schedule this would have taken away from time in the Belizean Cayes. So we gave it our best shot. Our first [...]

Cold Beer, Old Temples and Curious Jaguars – Belize City, Belize
Blog: Trans-Americas Journey - 6 July 2010
Belize only produces one domestic beer–the ubiquitous and tasty Belikin. But that one beer has a fantastic label featuring the terraced rocky hulk of an ancient Mayan temple on most bottles. You can even visit the “Belikin Temple” which is actually the 54′ high Temple of the Masonry Altars in Plaza B of the Altun Ha archaeological site. Altun Ha is a modern Mayan name (the city’s original name is unknown) for a very old place.

Skippin' the Cities

It would be a struggle to find someone who went to the Czech Republic and didn't visit Prague. Most people are certain to see London when visiting the Britain.

Ocean Academy
Blog: The Belize Travel Experience - 29 April 2010
When visiting Caye Caulker last year I spent a significant amount of time at the local Internet Café updating this blog right from the source. While sitting there with my orange juice typing away I noticed a woman coming in several times for copies and one time she sat down at the computer next to [...] Related posts:Tropical Storms in Belize

I make my peace with BelizeCity
Blog: Snarky Tofu - 1 December 2009
Night in Belize city, staying at the Bayview, a small Taiwanese owned Hotel on the north end of town. The town has grown on me, strangely enough, though I'd be hard pressed to think of more than a couple of reasons to spend a day and a night here. Unless you've come to gamble at one of the Casinos. Which I haven't. Or research a guidebook, which I have.

Pros and Cons of Belize City
Blog: Viva Latin America! - 11 November 2009
Pros - It’s the only way to get out to the Northern Cayes. They’ve got a good (if expensive) water taxi system that goes very regularly out to said Cayes. As in every half hour or so up until about 5.30pm. It stops you from thinking that Belize is just a bountiful font of nature interspersed with lovely [...]

One last Belizean adventure
Blog: A Travel Diary from Mexico, Central and South America - 7 November 2009
Unsure of whether or not to push on back into Guatemala, we convinced ourselves that there was probably one more thing not to miss in Belize - and that's the second largest coral reef in the world! And perhaps we shouldn't miss Belize City either. After all, it is not possible to know Belize without seeing it's largest city, according to our book. Besides, to get to the reef you must take a boat from Belize City to one of the cayes, so two birds with one stone, we went to Ambergris Caye.

Boats and Buses From Belize to Honduras, What a Trip
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 22 June 2009
We booked a boat in Belize City to Puerto Cortes, Honduras. We made it in one piece just barely, and we had a lot of time to get over our nausea. Finally the border patrol arrived. One man and one man only processed 50 people. It was getting late in the day and we didn’t have much time to make our way across the island to catch our ferry to Utilla.

Remembering Belize: A Diver’s Journey Through Central America
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 16 June 2009
Look Up! The man yells as we pull our dive gear and carry our packs from the bus station to the waterfront of Belize City. Hesitant, we worry that he is trying to distract us to relieve us of our abundance belongings
