I made my way to Belize, by water taxi. Arriving just as the sun was setting, dolphins were hunting for fish in the shallow waters. The ride was smooth because the islands and reef block the waves. We both timed our arrival so perfect that she actually flew over me, landing on the small island runway in a small puddle jumper, and arriving at the cute Maxapan Capanas a minute before I arrived.
The water taxi from Chetumal, Mexico, was actually very simple to catch. I figured it would be much more work. Made it cheap and fast to get to the barrier islands, of Belize without having to travel to Belize city. It cost only 37 dollars for a 2 hour ride, you can buy the tickets right and the Chetumal bus station, then check in an hour before it leaves. The taxi leaves once a day at 3:30. I'll include more info about this later when I get more time.
For the next three days, we will be exploring the second biggest barrier reef in the world, behind the great barrier reef in Australia. Tomorrow will be spend on a sail boat, traveling from island to island, and to a place we can dive with sharks. I'm looking forward to traveling with a companion, since most of the time, I'm traveling alone. Sunsets and sunrises will be a little more special when you have some with you that you care about, and it's always good to have some one to laugh with and share the experience with.
Those who visit foreign nations, but associate only with their own country-men, change their climate, but not their customs. They see new meridians, but the same men; and with heads as empty as their pockets, return home with travelled bodies, but untravelled minds.
