Belize Trip Hi-lights

I thought I was prepared for this exciting trip to Belize. I had called the boat agency found out times of departure, price of tickets, and had asked if they went to Belize City which they said they did. Well, when we arrived at the port I was wondering where the big boat was. I was expecting like a ferry or at least a large cargo ship. Wrong! We were met with a little twenty passenger tour boat with a little tarp roof over half the back of the boat. And no they didn't go to Belize City only to Dangriga, 3 hours south of Belize City!! I couldn't believe this. Well what else could we do. So I quick made phone calls to Belize and made arrangements that we would have to take a bus to Belize City once we got to Dangriga which I had never heard of before in my life.

Hannah and Joseph had to sit in the back because it was too dangerous up front. So they sat in the back and I was right up front on the side with a rope rubbing my knee. The sky was overcast with a 40% chance of rain and we were about to embark on a three hour journey across the open sea. I was really praying. All the luggage was piled in the front of the boat including some bikes. That was my front view throughout the duration of the trip. Well we took off. The wind was picking up and our little boat was ramping about 3 to 4 foot waves. It was amazing. The water was splashing over the side onto my arm. My sleeve was soaked on the first ten minutes of the ride. What would the next three hours entail?

Well the closer we got to Belize the calmer the water became. We passed some beautiful little islands. A few had people living on them. It was just gorgeous.

So we arrived in a little town called Dangriga. We got info on buses leaving for Belize City and also where we might find a room. We got a nice little room for $35 with a balcony overlooking the ocean. It was great. It was also close to the bus station where we took our bus the following morning. So thankfully, everything worked out.
