Today we said a really sad goodbye to caye caulker, it was an absolute pleasure!! We had a later start this morning, where we met in the hotel foyer at 10am. It was nice to have a bit of a sleep in!! We caught the ferry from the island and made our way to Belize City. Once we were there we transferred to the bus terminal to catch another chicken bus from Belize City to San Ignacio. The bus trip was good, we had some gorgeous kids in front of us on the bus!! T...

What a day today!! It was firstly brilliant because I dropped off all my laundry!

We actually swam with manatees (dugongs), gosh they were so beautiful and gentle!...

It wasn't until I walked to the bus station that I realised that I had seriously made the wrong decision to put my blue top on today, as it just showed the world how hot and sweaty I really was!! Once we arrived we locked up our bags, and caught a bus straight to the Mayan Ruins of...

Now everybody, gather round and take a seat, preferably on a toilet as you may actually wet yourself when I tell you what I did today!! Be prepared to be bedazzled!!! Ok, so it could also just be me that is so excited by this! Today I checked off something that has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember....I swam with the whale sharks!! I swear I nearly wet myself everytime I jumped in the water and watched these majestic beautiful creatures gli...
