Just made it to Orange Walk, Belize

Check out our exact location: Click Here




Well, for the past 2 night we have stayed in Caye Calker, an Island in Belize, but we didn't have to stay in tents.  We stayed in an awesome, huge, hotel room with our new friend Kristen.  We met Kristen at the beach bar.  She is a police officer from Toronto Canada and was nice as can be.  She was traveling for a week by herself and we had and extra futon that she insisted we sleep on.  We agreed and couldn't be happier.  Her hotel was the only one with a pool.. not that we used it (there is an ocean near by) but it was spectacular. We just kicked it on Wednesday at the beach.  Dinner was lobster as usual with rice, beans, and cake. This morning we caught the Water Taxi from the Caye back to Belize city at 8:30am and made our way to the bus station.  The ride to Orange Walk was only 2.50$ US.  The place we are staying at tonight is a definite step up from tent camping but four steps down from the free room and board provided by Kristen... Thanks again Kristen, we love you!  We are staying at the Akihito Hotel-  Private room, 10' by10' with a small tv, shared common room and shower 15$US.  Not bad, but we cant wait to make our way to Guatemala were prices are half of what they are in Belize.  We will update as soon as possible.. Love ya!

  1. How lucky you were to find a friend who was willing to share her hotel room with you two!! I'm also glad to hear you are staying in inexpensive hotels at times and not just having to endure that tent!!! Everything seems so cool.... all the beautiful places and interesting people you are experiencing!!! I want to join you two!!
