It´s been a while since my last update. Mainly because the internet in Belize is so expensive, but also because after Caye Caulker Belize was a bit shit.
Placencia was billed as a backpacker place with an amazing beach in our guide books, but it felt much more like a semi-expensive resort town and the beach wasn´t that great. After that we went to San Ignacio near the Guatemalan border, again billed as a great backpacker place with lots to do. Admittedly they were lots of tours we could of taken, but they would all of broken the bank, so instead we moved straight on to Monkey Bay so that Amy could get her studies done. We were hoping to do loads of activities here, but it turned out that you needed a big group to do this, so mostly I just read whilst Amy got on with her interviews and study.
So overall we were very happy to leave Belize for Guatemala. At the moment we´re in Flores in the north and we´re staying in a great hostel (something we haven´t been able to find anywhere). It´s a beautiful place on a small island in the middle of a lake with cobbled streets and a European feel. So far we´ve just been soaking up the atmosphere in the hostel and chatting with other travellers to get to lowdown on the rest of Central America, but we both have a good feeling about this place and I think we´re going to find it hard to tear ourselves away.
Well that´s about it for now, next stops are a Jaguar conservation project and Tikal. I´ll keep yous informed!
