Belize

Ok, so lets talk about Belize. Now, i think this country is great if your visiting the Que's, but not that wonderful if your just traveling around, of course thats just the opionion of me and the older girls. We decided that it wasn't that interesting overall, but it was great that they spoke english!! We arrived in the evening, after going through a nice relaxed border crossing and stayed at an rv park in San Ignacio. It was just outside of town. We biked in one day and spent sometime at the river. The older girls and Mark jumped off the suspension bridge while i took pictures. At first we were hanging out on the river bank across from all the locals because of all the boys oggling our older girls, it was crazy! However, we did have to move to the locals side eventually because we were informed by an 8 year old boy that we were hanging out where the pigs hang out. And sure enough right after he told us this a gigantic pink pig came strolling down to the river bank. We quickly left. I spent some time talking to the locals and taking pictures of the kids. I was than asked by a group of young men if they could get a picture taken with our girls, i agreed, as long as we were all in it. Im sure you'll see it posted on the blog, Mark took the picture. We than rode into town and had a great lunch, and than rode home again. It was a big day of riding because it was pretty hilly. The next day we headed for an rv park just outside of Belize city, but first we stopped to check out a howler monkey sanctuary. It was called a baboon sanctuary, but it was howler monkeys. The owner and operator was very knowledgeable, and extremely passionate about the monkeys and thier habitat. He was very friendly and happy to tour us around. We enjoyed the sanctuary and would recommend it to anybody traveling in Belize. We got to hand feed a baby howler monkey, and yes we have great pic's of that as well. After the tour we headed for the marina. It was great to have the breeze off the ocean for we were all very hot. The reason we chose this particular rv destination was because they had laundry facilities, which we were in great need of. The facilities included one washer and one dryer, we bought some tokens for a high price and realized that some of the tokens given to us were actually 2 peso coins from mexico, well lucky us!!! We just happened to have a few of those hanging around the motorhome and it a good thing too because we had lots of laundry to do, we finished sometime around midnight.! The next day we headed for the border, we were all excited to be getting back into Mexico. We were headed to an rv park called Paa Mul. It promised to have a beautiful beach and swimming pool! YES.....it had been awhile since we had been on a beach and on the ocean for that matter.
