We never thought that when we left Australia 5th May 2012 we would still be on the road. And that we would be sharing our journey with 10,000+ other people.

Two hours went way too fast and I was literally giddy with glee the whole time. I washed my hands consistently (as I’m a finger licker)... Before I knew it we were done and the f… Best Ambergris Caye Restaurants: Where To Eat In San Pedro 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 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. Jaguars at Tikal & The Best Tostadas Ever in Flores, Guatemala Tikal is huge!

We also s… Our Hellish Journey From Belize City to Flores, Guatemala The plan was simple. A 1.5 hour speedboat ride from San Pedro to Belize City at 10am.

Hol Chan Marine Reserve, Shark Ray Alley & Caye Caulker - It's Easy to be SEAduced by Belize I am petrified of sharks.

Xanadu Island Resort, Ambergris Caye – The Only Place to Stay When Visiting This Tropical Island Have you ever stayed at a resort and wanted to stay forever? It ticks all your boxes.

Where in the World is San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, Belize? It occurs to me that perhaps a lot of people do not know anything about where we currently are.
