Today was a rather chilled out one. Woke up a little on the later side, grabbed some ice coffee (from a touristy place that actually knew what it was) and took a stroll around town. We then had fresh squeezed banana papaya juice on the beach until it was time for our water taxi ride back to the mainland.
Our ferry back was significantly smoother than the last time, as we do not check our bags and decided to take them with us. When we arrived in Belize City, we caught a taxi to our hotel. The driver helped us in and closed the door for us. Instead of the usual sliding the van door shut, he closed it almost all the way but not completely. He then "secured" it shut with a lock that can only be described as a hook through a metal loop. The kind that you occasionally see in a not so fancy public bathroom. Comforting eh?
We thought we would maybe catch a movie tonight so we asked the cab driver if there was a movie theater nearby. After asking the same question 3 times, the driver did not understand what we were asking. Now this was not because of a language barrier (fun fact: Belize is actually the only country in Central America where English is the official language), it was because he did not know what a movie theater was. It turns out that there are only 2 movie theaters in the whole country, and both of those theaters only have movies playing on the weekends. So there went that plan.
Alternative plan: grabbing water from a local mini-mart and hanging out in our again not so five star hotel. And by not so five star I mean the kind where the bathroom walls do not fully reach the ceiling of the room. Aka we have a hotel room with a bathroom stall in the corner. But it has beds and an air conditioner which is more than we can ask for, and it is our new home until we are forced to say goodbye to Belize for now as we hop on our plane to Atlanta tomorrow morning. Farewell Belize and thank you for being a fantastic host to some of the craziest adventures I have experienced thus far.
