It is easier to post the link to my blog as it has photos
Belize has its charms but it is also a troubled country. The Cayes are quite different from the rest.

Thanks for the report...a slightly different take but none the less interesting. Wasn't it Belize that appropriated Lord Ashcroft's assets? Also note that there was a movie that was partially filmed in Belize called "The Mosquito Coast that starred Harrison Ford and an much younger Helen Mirren. I doubt if there will be a war but the border with Guatemala will continue to be infitrated by bad guys. Right now there is a major drug cartel operating out of the Peten. Neither country likes to see toursim impacted but there must be a ton of drug money involed.

To each his/her own - I have a whole different take on Belize.2
Interesting report. I had to cancel a planned trip to Belize a couple of days ago. I wanted to visit again....last timeI was there was in 2002....but it seems that many things have changed, not for the better. I'm planning to go later on, though.4

I was in Belize last January. I concur. Belize is troubled, and has problems as well. I recently told my travel agent off about this. WHY DIDNT HE TELL ME?13
Most travel agents have not a clue what a Belize is. Most doctors are equally clueless about tropical infections and disease.ADVERTISEMENT
