Belize it or Not...

Fun Facts about Belize:

It is more expensive here than anywhere else I've been in Latin America. At $6 per hour, it's also the most expensive Internet access. Therefore, this will be brief, and photos will have to wait.

The official language is English. Locals speak a creole-type dialect and sometimes Garifuna, both of which are very melodic and impossible to understand. Travellers who have been in other neighboring countries for a while inevitably start speaking Spanish in restaurants and shops, and I can't shake the feeling that somehow I'm cheating or taking the easy way out by speaking English.

The policy in most establishments is: no shirt, no shoes, no problem.

The main activities are: sitting in hammocks, swimming, sitting in the sun, reading, snorkeling or diving, eating, drinking rum cocktails and sleeping. I've already done my fair share of most of these.

The forecast for the next few days is: more of the same.
