Coming into Belize from Guatemala it felt like entering another continent. Indigenous Maya people standing less than 5 feet were suddenly switched out with 7-foot-tall Snoop Lion look-a-likes and Spanish was suddenly rare, with a funky, Caribbean-style “Creole” English suddenly filling the streets. Yah man!

To be honest, it was a nice change – and even though punctuality isn’t an important concept in Guatemala, taking it slow took on a new meaning in Belize. There’s no rush – the ocean will be there tomorrow, too.

(We visited Caye Caulker, Belize City and Belize Zoo.)
