Thought I'd jot down a few notes about my experience as well as some reference points for anyone that is considering travelling to Belize.

-Belizean dollars are half the value of US dollars i.e. BZ $10 is US $5

-Ambergris Caye Island was beautiful but rather isolated. There is some fishing and snorkeling close by but as was the case with cave tubing many of the activities are a couple hours away. We had originally considered checking out the Blue Hole but this was a few hours away and is mainly an attraction for divers.

-On day 3 we did some kayaking in search of bluer waters further away from shore. I think that the bluer areas are where you can see straight through to white sand so the rays of the sun are reflected more clearly. Here's a picture as we headed out.

-'Caye' is pronounced 'key'

-Belizeans are in general friendly, trusting, and trustworthy. When we rented our bikes and golf cart, they told us we could just pay after.

Relaxing week except for the travelling part. Glad to be back in LA!
