More to see of Belize

So we finally left Caye Caulker yesterday morning. We had a great time in Caye Caulker, we really loved that island. It was so relaxing, and the water was amazing. A crazy windstorm sort of pushed us out of there. We were going to stay another night, but when we woke up to piles of sand in the room that had blown in under the door and through the window, we figured we would head out. We even had to use earplugs to fall asleep the night before, the wind gusts were so strong and loud!! It was pretty amazing, and even weirder that it didn't come with a rainstorm, just wind. So our plan yesterday was to get to Placencia, a beach town in the south of Belize. As we started on the buses yesterday, we got tired of the ride about half way there, so we stopped in this town called Dangriga, which is where we are now. The scenery was pretty, we drove through some hilly, green terrrain through tons of orange groves. You wouldn't believe how many people get on these school buses! Everyone is really packed in.

The information about this town of Dangriga made us think it was a pretty good size town with things to do, but we are finding that not so accurate. Now we have to regroup and decide where to go next. Our plan to head to Placencia may change, as we hear that lodgings will be tough to find this weekend because it is Easter, and tourists, as well as all the Belizeans will go there...I will let you know where we end up.
