Idyllic specks of land emerging from the sea offer perfect spots of relaxation.
When travelling through Guatemala with my sister in 1991, we decided also to make a side-step to Belize. At the time, it seemed nice to also include another country after the nice experiences we've had in Guatemala. So it was that we decided to pass through Belize on our way to Tikal in the North of Guatemala. After weeks in the highlands of Guatemala, we had to get used to the humid and hot climate of the coast upon arrival in Puerto Barrios in Guatemala. After one night there in the very Caribbean atmosphere of the village, we crossed to Belize by boat. It turned out to be a real adventure to cross the open sea with a small boat to Belize. Waves were high all around us and at a certain point we could hardly see the coast... When my sister asked me if we would make it swimming to the coast, I honestly had to say that it would not be easy. Fortunately, and completely wet, we arrived at the Punta Gorda immigration in Belize where they accepted our thoroughly wet passports.
