Belize - Christians, Creol, Coral and caves

The bus from Mexico was full of American missionaries. If this wasn't unsettling enough the first thing to you see as you enter Belize City is the hundreds of churches representing every version of American weirdo Church -why they impose themselves on poor old Belize I have no idea.

Belize City feels a bit edgy but if you talk to people they are really friendly even if they are always looking for ways to make a dollar - one guy who was living on the street started to give us a pretty good history lesson on the city.

We spent a few days on Caye Caulker one of the tropical islands along the second longest reef in the world. Its strange being in a country where you can read and speak the language but not understand what people are saying to each other. They speak Creole liberally peppered with various versions of fooook and moother fourkerstony2 155tony 142

San Ignasio is on a beautiful river and near some caves used as a burial site by the Mayas.tony 204 Brilliant trip, we went about a mile into the caves by canoetony 180

Favorite moment. Canadian woman talking to a local. Is the Queen your head of state? Don't know man but she is on our dollar. Yes shes on ours as well. Rule Britannia!!
