Finally the so waited post of my trip to Belize!
We left from San Salvador, by bus at 8pm on the 25th December. If the bus ride was nice, I would write the name of the tourism agency, but since it was one of the most annoying rides I ever had in my life, I won't. I will start talking about it, for the sake of anyone who wants to ride in a bus in Central America. Be aware of uneducated people. Centroamericans, in special people from El Salvador, are really annoying and loud. We spent 14 hours, between San Salvador and Belize City, hearing loud conversations, loud laughs, and horrible taco music. The worst from all of these was the music ALL NIGHT LONG that the bus drivers were listening, loudly, even when the passengers were trying to sleep.
I definitely recommend if you want to rest on your way to anywhere in Central America to go in a bus with foreigners - non-Centroamericans. Sadly, but true. They probably are more expensive, but is worth the rest, because in Belize you'll have a lot to do, specially if you have an adventurer heart.
Don't take me wrong, the bus was really nice. I think the problem with Centroamericans, in special from El Salvador, is so annoying that in Belize they have a law only allowing small buses to go from El Sal to there. I bet they don't want Salvadorenos messing up with their country...
TV! Peharps being a small bus, with capacity for only 30 people, it was a really nice one, with bathroom, AC and TV. The shitty is, when the TV wasn't on and loud, was the radio playing arranchera music(yuck!)
Not even Foster the People could save my ears - or my brain. Felt like I got dumber 50% more after 14 hours of bad music and TV.
But let's focus now in Belize. Wow, what a BEAUTIFUL PLACE! I got really surprised by the fact that they speak english there. And they sound like JAmaicans. I already told hubby that, after Belize, I'm ready for Jamaica!
The bedroom was REALLY sweet. Perfect for a honeymoon. We stayed at the Princess Hotel, which has a casino, bowling area( I LOVED IT! I AM A BIG BOWLING FAN!). I'm wondering if this will be the place that William and Kate, the Royal Couple, are going to stay, because is one of the best hotels in Belize City. I know that even being such a nice hotel, it has its cons: the first two days had no hot water at all and too expensive to do anything there. Specially internet wi-fi.
Well, there is not much to do or see in Belize City. The place is kinda ugly, dirty, so I didn't care of taking pics of that either. But in the video that will be posted, you can see a small city close to BC that was kinda sweet.
The next day, we took a boat and went to Ambergris Caye. What a magical little island where everybody rides golf cars. I really enjoyed my day there and walked around barefoot, haha!
Really a cute little town, isn't it?
And guess what?? Click in the picture!! Leo Di Caprio has an private island there and have lots of projects for helping the environment there. Such an amazing person, isn't he?
We went to 8 golf cart rentals till we could find a place with avaible carts. Moncho's Cart Rentals had electric ones, which are way more quiet and doesn't shake as much as the other ones.
I don't know why this warning still make me giggle. "Young drives increase chance of death".
Then, we went to swim with Nurse Sharks!!!!!!
This was the most awesome thing I ever made in my life!
I wasn't scare at all and was really fun. I want to do it again, and I want to also swim in a cage with white sharks outside. I love DANGER!!
Before swimming with sharks, the guides put some bait in this cylinder to attract the sharks. They got some fish and cut them and put into this thing full of holes and then they throw this thing in the sea. As soon as you can imagine, 4 big sharks were around the boat.
Me, before trying to be eaten by nurse sharks, haha.
Me, in the center of the pic.
And me again. Big boobs also help you to float, but I needed some more support for it, haha.
After swimming with the sharks and snorkeling a little bit, I got so tired that we went back to hotel and we just slept. The dinner we had at the room...
The sea food in Belize is the best sea food I've ever had in my entire life. I really miss the food and the sharks.
And now a preview video of the big video of the trip. It is taking really long to finish editing this one, so sorry for it! This short video, that was uploaded on my Viddy has a SHARK!!!!
