Belize

I've been wanting to go to Belize for about 10 years now, ever since that show Temptation Island back in the day. :) Well, it is paradise. There's sooo much to do. It's a divers paradise. Some of the best diving in the world is here. The waters are clear, the weather is perfect, the islanders are welcoming and the cerveza is flowing! I'm staying at Akbol Yoga Eco Resort. It's a perfect place for a retreat. We do yoga every morning at 9am on the pier over the water. With the breeze, it's the perfect temperature for yoga. The food is amazing and the cabanas are facing the ocean with showers outside. It's incredible. I'm about 2 miles from town. Luckily, I've been meeting the locals and getting hookups on boat rides, snorkeling and drinks. I've met so many people already. I'm staying here for another few days, then heading over to another island and down to Placencia for the full moon dive with the whale sharks! I can't wait! The Blue Hole was amazing! Very deep and murky. We saw a bunch of stalagmites. Not too much in the form of fish, although there were a couple of sand sharks, but I didn't get the opportunity to see them, darn it! There's soo many Americans here. They take US currency, speak English and cater to tourists. It's basically a resort for Americans. I was hoping to get a little more into the culture, but I guess that's what the mainland is for. I plan on doing tubing, camping and swimming with the sharks. I'll keep you updated!
