Oh, Belize!

Yes, my last post was kind of all over the place. You´ll have to excuse me. I´m easing myself back into the use of a computer. Computer=communication with people I have previously known in my life=what? So now I will write about Belize for fifteen minutes or so, before I detatch myself from this amazing piece of machinery for a few days.

Belize! You place you! I feel a little sad that I wasn´t able to do more traveling in the country. I would have liked to see the south coast. But Belize is the odd one out of Central America. It´s the only country where the official language is English (and what a relief that is!). It´s also a lot more expensive. Belize dollars are worth half that of US dollars, and given New Zealand´s current exchange rate, it gives the most easy currency calculation you will ever have: 1=1. A bit depressing, yes.

In Belize they speak Creole, and their national bird is the toucan. As soon as arrived on the bus from Mexico I was lead onto a series of yellow school buses rumbling along dirt roads. One of them was playing reggae.

This will be continued!
