We are closing our second day at Backpacker's Paradise in Sarteneja. Forget what we said about Corozal being laid back, this place is on a whole new level. This sleepy little town is a fishing town, but seems to be more where the fishers live and rest when they aren't fishing down the coast between Belize City and Placencia. We have met a few fishermen, and they have been wonderful. Most of the town speaks Spanish, but they all can speak english really well too.
The food here is great and inexpensive, which we are into. The surrounding area has a lot to offer too. Yesterday we went to a nature reserve called Shipstern, and walked a nature path and went up a 150 foot observation tower,and went through a butterfly garden. Yeah.
Today we began the day with a two hour kayak, which was really glorious. Then we had a swim, and later in the afternoon some thunderclouds rolled in so we took cover in the shelter and cooked some dinner, read, etc. Tough day. Tonight during the rainstorm a scorpion dropped down right beside me, so that was scary.We want to put up pictures right now, but our internet time is up, so we will do that next time!
So long for now,
Lisa and Torrance
