Feb 13, 2019 We woke up and checked out of the Funky Dodo. We hit up our favorite Hopkins food cart which was tacos (3 for .50 cents). Our first day we started off with ordering 3 but ended up going right back for 3 more. They were not big but fresh homemade tortillas made…
Stops
Days 8 & 9 – Hopkins, Belize
Feb 11-12th, 2019 We liked the town of Hopkins and the Funky Dodo so much we ended up staying two more nights. The town had such a nice energy and was very relaxed. All the locals were very welcoming and friendly. We spent most of the days hanging out on the beach and taking walks. …
Day 7 – Hopkins, Belize
February 10, 2019 We decided to head back to the mainland and start to head south towards Placencia. Before catching the water taxi back to Belize City we took the golf cart out for one last spin. On our way back we got caught in a monsoon type rainstorm and got pretty soaked. It was…
Day 6 – San Pedro, Belize
Feb 9, 2019 (Happy Birthday Dad!) San Pedro was busy (with tons of golf carts). We also decided to blend in and rent a golf cart for the day so we could go north on the island to the not so secret “Secret Beach”. It was a really fun 45 minute golf cart ride out…
Day 5- San Pedro, Belize
Feb 8, 2019 After a slightly better nights sleep in the tent we packed up camp and headed to the water taxi for San Pedro. We first stopped for a traditional Belizian “fry jack” which is a delicious fried dough pocket with whatever filling you want in it (I chose beans, cheese and eggs, and…
Day 4 – Caye Caulker, Belize
2/7/2019 So the night in the tent was a bit rough. We kept the rain fly on the tent as we didn’t want the cats peeing on the inner part where we could smell it all night. This meant there was no air movement and it was HOT and MUGGY. We also had to keep…
Day 3- Caye Caulker, Belize
After a warm night in a small room we felt ready and excited to explore the next thing. As we read about, Belize City wasn’t really a place we felt we needed more time in. We decided to head north to the island of Caye Caulker. We loaded our packs and made it to the…
Day 2- Belize City, Belize
We left DFW and arrived in Belize around 2pm where we met cousin Taylor who flew from Portland that morning. The second we lifted all our backpacks and got them loaded on our backs (and fronts) we knew we brought way too much stuff. We immediately started thinking of what we could get rid of…
Day 1 of Our Journey
DAY 1 (2/4/19) Had a 6am flight out of Seattle and this trip is an adventure from the start. Huge snow storm predicted for the NW and after struggling to get the car out of the icy driveway we got all our stuff loaded and Mom and Chris and Sadie bravely took us to the…
Getting to the Airport
We started out in a snowstorm trying to get safely to the Seattle airport at 3am. It was a harrowing ride, with cars spinning out and overturned in ditches all around us. We couldn’t believe how much traffic was on the road (or sliding off the road) in the middle of the night. As passengers…
