Flores (Guatemala) to Caye Cualker (Belize)

Having survived Christmas (as did this turkey ) we made our way across the border to San Ignacio in Belize, where we spent the afternoon walking the IxChel Jungle Medicine Trail and learning about all the uses of plants and trees, most of which we have casually passed by these past 9 months .

For New Years we decided to locate ourselves on Caye Caulker, a sunny isle in the Caribbean sea. And for new years eve we went out on a boat to the local reef for some snorkeling, swimming with sharks and rays, and watching the sun set with rum punch. The actual night was actually quite chilled, in a Caribbean kind of way, and the fireworks were out shadowed by Christmas with half of them exploding in the audience (obviously lacking the pyro skills of the Pearson/Greg duo).







We're off to Mexico tomorrow, fingers crossed for a pain free border crossing.

Hope you have a happy 2009!
