A quick post from Belize- we finished up our last few days in Playa del Carmen and Cancun in Mexico. Liked Isla Mujeres (a small island off Cancun) and liked the beach Tulum (but too many tourists at the ruins). Didn't like Playa or Cancun much, too touristy and the beaches didn't live up to our expectations.
We were on Caye Caulker, a tiny island in Belize the last couple of days. Went on a snorkelling tip in the worst weather we've have so far! We were sitting on the front of the boat getting drenched by rain and clinging onto the sides of the boat with the wind doing its best on the way out to the reef thinking, "This was a mistake", but when we got there the rain stopped for most of the day and the visibility was amazing! Best snorkelling I've done so far, that's for sure. We saw tonnes of fish, swam with sharks, rays and turtles. Will definitely upload some pictures when I get a chance.
Now we are in San Ignacio, staying in an interesting "hotel". More like school camp really, with tiny cabins and eco toilets (you chuck a handful of sawdust in the toilet to "flush") and shared showers and toilets.
More news later!
