There Is More to Belize Than Just the Cayes

Imagine if you will two ordinary inexperienced travellers only ever venturing to foreign lands for a quick city break or a seaside holiday setting out to independently crisscross through Belize. Well that was us: Steve and I. Our meticulously planned journey did not start as smoothly as we would have liked but it did start. Our quick detour to New York was a brisk introduction to independent travel and showed us what we are made of. Belize turned out to be everything Lonely Planet said it would be and more. And Steve and I turned out to love everything independent travelling threw at us: we got lost ate a lot took part in rituals got invited to parties overestimated our stamina underestimated the sun hitchhiked on a Sunday and most of all had fun.
