Belize is otra onda completely,
it’s a mixture between Mayas, Caribs, African rooted people, Chinese, creoles,
and tourists!
The first impression was like arriving to Jamaica, Rasta people
and reggae music everywhere, talking in a uncomprehending Belizean English.
We went straight away to an island called Caye Caulker (we
also wanted to visit the inland jungles and villages, but we were running out
of time…). The island is very touristic but well mixed with locals. As soon as
we left the boat a rastaman took us to a cheap hostel called Tropical Oasis,
where we stayed in a Cabaña (small wooden house). The first thing we did was to
dive into the crystal clear water of the Caribbean with a Belikin, the
wonderful Belizean beer.

We spent 6 days in this island, swimming with manatees,
nurse sharks, sting rays, colorful fishes and corals! We rented an underwater camera!! Look!
 |
| Manatee!! |
 |
| They are so slow that there are mosses growing on their backs! |
 |
| Oh yes, those are sharks! Now let's jump from the boat... :s |

Our Argentinean friend, Lisandro, learnt us how to fish, and
thanks to him, we sustained ourselves out of our skills =) Well, if it was for
Dimitris we would have died of hunger :p It feels really good to make the whole
process of getting your aliments, better than buying in the supermarket!
 |
| My catch!! |
 |
| Cooking the fish in the BBQ, mmmm! |
Bye Bye Belize!!!
