Into Belize

Have been in Belize for the past week. First stop was San Ignacio, about 30 minutes from the border.  It was raining the day we arrived and only spent one night. Not much to see in this town, only stopped to do a cave tour the next day. Called the ATM caves, they are according to Mayan  legend the entrance to the underworld.  More on the cave tour and photos later.

From there moved to Belmopan, capital city of Belize, again spending one night before moving on to Hopkins on the Caribbean coast. What to do at the coast....not much of anything. First night checked in to Jeanie's Jungle Lodge a mile or so down the road from the village.  Next day moved on again and spent two nights on Tobacco Caye Island in a Cabana over the water. Tobacco Caye is a small island, 200x100 yards long and sits right on top of the reef that extends for 80 miles North to South along the Belize coastline.  There was some great snorkeling right off the beach and finished off the day at the bar at the beach watching the sunset. 

Currently back at Jungle Jeanies for three nights before moving up for the final stop at Caye Caulker, just outside Belize City.
