A great time at Xcalak in the Cocos de Playa resort, a small bungalow style fishing and diving resort. Stacey was able to enjoy some sunning time. I relaxed a bit and helped some with the suspension upgrade to one of the trucks.
We headed out for the border first thing this morning crossing into Belize at about 12noon. A fairly easy border crossing taking about 1.5hrs including the Mexican Customs and Belize Customs. Arriving in Ladyville near Belize City we looked for a decent hotel to spend the night. Everything was booked, so a very nice lady at the Best Western made a few calls and found us 5 rooms at a little resort out of town called The Black Orchid. It’s a great place on a nice river; I highly recommend a stay here if you’re visiting Belize, very close to the airport but not at all city like.
This morning we leave for Belmopan area, we will visit the Belize National Zoo and then camp at the 5 lakes national park. The next morning we will head to San Ignacio and find a camp there. Then at the end of the week we will cross the Guatemalan border, at this time I expect to not have internet or phone access to up to 1 week. We will be on jungle trails exploring Mayan Ruin sites and driving parts of a past Camel Trophy Off-road Race. Every night we will camp in the jungle. So if you don’t hear from us on the blog for a bit you’ll know why. The SPOT should still track our location..
Hope everyone is doing well. We miss everyone but are truly enjoying our travels.
