After a splash and dash in Livingston and some fortuitous boating, we made it to Placencia via Mango Creek, which would surely have been beautiful had we been able to see it. Placencia is a beautiful beach town on the Carribean coast, and the perfect place to become immersed in the laid-back Belizean vibe. English is the spoken language and chilling out on hammocks is the most taxing daily chore.
Unbelievably friendly locals and amusing signs will be my outstanding memory. For the first time, we celebrated Thanksgiving with "Turkey Dinner... All the trimmin's!".Next stop was Caye Caulker which is an island surrounded by tropical green ocean but with a distinctly more built-up feeling than Placencia. With a busy agenda set for the return to Guatemala, we made our way to Belize City and then through to Flores. To say that Belize is so laid-back it's horizontal is probably an understatement.
