Takin It Easy Belizean Style
The beginning of our adventures in Belize. A rest near the beautiful countryside.
Bike ride into the town of San Antonio for delicious choco bananas, a local treat :)
This is how a pineapple grows.
Here's the pineapple patch on a friend's property.
Camping spot in the Cayo District a few miles from San Antonio. We explored much of the district riding our bikes up and down the bumpy dirt roads.
5 Sisters Falls
Climbing down the rocks to Big Rock Falls.
Ben with his handy machete at Big Rock. Can't go far in the jungle of the Cayo without one.
Camping spot in San Ignacio Cayo District. We stocked up on delicious produce at the local market.
Homey parked outside of the Blue Hole National Park.
Em jumping into the Blue Hole.
Not long after the swim Em got a terrible case of swimmers itch. It was unbearably itchy and ALL OVER, it lasted waayyy too long.
Chillin on the Carribbean ocean in Placencia. Ben crackin open a fresh coconut to enjoy the purest water within.
Art time on the ocean. Brewin some coffee and feasting on coconuts.
Em reading and Ben fishing the New River in Orange Walk.
Ben napping by the water.
We took a boat ride down the New River to visit the Lamanai Ruins. Along the way we saw lots of wildlife - crocodiles, lizards, bats, birds, monkeys, and turtles.
