365 Days of Accommodation: 2012 - 2013
May 3, 2013 Highlights
It’s hard work constantly researching for a place to stay. What once was a joyful challenge during 2-4 holidays a year now is the bane of my existence. Sometimes so much that rarely book in advance any more. Check out some of the highlights in our 365 day…

It’s been a long 6 months since we left Penang and the last of the good Asian food we ever had. Verdanza to the rescue! Oh & they have a kids water park, which is pretty awesome too.

Best Ambergris Caye Restaurants: Where To Eat In San Pedro
Mar 14, 2013 Ambergris Caye, Belize
When we first got to this little island I was disheartened, we had tried a few places with not much success. The food was downright crappy. The supermarkets were expensive, the fruit and veg not fresh and it seemed there was nowhere to eat. Then...
The Overnight Bus from Flores to Antigua, Guatemala
Mar 10, 2013 Antigua, Guatemala
What a journey. And what a change from our hellish ride from Belize to Guatemala. The overnight bus went fast and was a very cheap alternative to getting into Antigua.
Our Hellish Journey From Belize City to Flores, Guatemala
Mar 9, 2013 Antigua, Guatemala
The plan was simple. A 1.5 hour speedboat ride from San Pedro to Belize City at 10am. This would get us to Belize City about 11:30am/12pm with enough time to eat lunch and catch the 1pm bus to Flores, Guatemala. What could go wrong?
San Pedro’s Famous Chicken Drop – Where the Inebriated Cheer for Chicken Turd
Mar 3, 2013 Ambergris Caye, Belize
Have you ever heard of a chicken drop? Possibly not. I know the RSPCA would be all over it if we had such a thing in Australia. But every Thursday night in San Pedro, Belize the chicken drop draws a crowd.
Hol Chan Marine Reserve, Shark Ray Alley & Caye Caulker - It's Easy to be SEAduced by Belize
Mar 1, 2013 Ambergris Caye, Belize
I am petrified of sharks. I come from the land down under where the Great Whites plunder (rap not intended). I rarely swim in the sea and if I do it’s more like a wade where a quick exit is available. And now here I sit. On the edge of a boat gazing at a …

Ever met someone on holiday that convinces you to do a tour? You actually know nothing about the tour, but your husband wants to go because it’s Mayan ruins and that has to end well, right? Next time do your research or you too could be on a 6-hour journe…
Where do you pee on a speedboat? Our journey to Ambergris Caye
Feb 17, 2013 Ambergris Caye, Belize
She had to pee. It was a 90-minute speedboat ride with at least 40 other people on board. There is no toilet. There is no stopping. We are 15 minutes from shore. She had to pee. She now was screaming and crying and drawing the attention of the crowd. She …
Xanadu Island Resort, Ambergris Caye – The Only Place to Stay When Visiting This Tropical Island
Feb 15, 2013 Ambergris Caye, Belize
Have you ever stayed at a resort and wanted to stay forever? It ticks all your boxes. Beach with palm trees. Pool with shade. Proper little cabins, not just rooms. You don’t even want to leave the resort, because staying has to be better, is better.
Where in the World is San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, Belize?
Feb 15, 2013 Ambergris Caye, Belize
It occurs to me that perhaps a lot of people do not know anything about where we currently are. That what you have heard of Belize is the mainland and a city rife with crime where no one should ever be staying. Or perhaps you have never heard of it at all…
Culture Shock in Cancun, Mexico
Jan 31, 2013 Mexico
Mexico may be America’s Bali, but it was super-foreign to us. And isn’t that the point of travel? To step out of your comfort zone and experience someone else’s way of life?
