Heading north to the border and town of San Ignacio Back in our truck we headed out of the jungle (after seeing no jaguar boo hoo!) and sat on the side of the road waiting for a chicken bus to pass to take myself, Adam and David north to San Ignacio and the rest of the guys south heading for Honduras/Guatemala! Saying goodbye from the other side of the road, the other guy's bus finally arrived and then after an hour and a half wait ours did too. The journey for a...

Days 8 & 9 - Camping in 'Jaguar' territory and tubing down the river! An early start and the newly grouped 7 of us bundled onto the small ferry again bleary eyed to say the least.

At about 8.30am we were woken by the owners young boy banging on our door...

Day 3 - Snorkelling with sharks on Belize's Barrier Reef, the second largest in the world! The next morning after having a huge shock as we were getting ready when Chika and Travis knocked our door, such a surprise and really good to see them, after making plans to have a drink with them later we set off for breakfast before our days adventure. Meeting everyone at the trip HQ we were kitted out with fins and snorkels and then it was off to the boat. Our captain f...
