Belize to Honduras

I've been enjoying this past week sailing on a boat, camping out on small (very small) islands, snorkeling and fishing on the Caribbean as well as relaxing in Placencia, Belize while waiting to catch the ferry to Honduras tomorrow. I should be in the Bay Islands by Saturday!

I have a travel buddy, Gareth, for my journey to Honduras and provided the boys I were hanging out on Caye Caulker hopped on the sailing trip that left Tuesday, I should have even more traveling buddies!

Funny enough, all of them are Brits. I think there is definitely some weird trend going on here. Maybe the Brits just love my shining personality! Gareth is a police officer, Ben is a dentist and I'm still not quite sure what Rupert does but I am definitely the odd person out if you base it on careers. Either way, all of them are traveling south on similar time lines, so once again, I will be in good company for a good period of time.

I forgot to mention in my last entry that I did run into my first Brits, Hass and Richard. They ended up staying at my hostel. I'm pretty sure it's the last I'm going to see of them. Sad times.

The rest of the people from the sailing trip aside from Gareth have left. There were quite a few of us sticking around for the past few days but the girls Imogen and Eve have left to go home to London and Albert has headed back up to Caye Caulker to meet some friends.

The longer I spend in Placencia the more it grows on me. It really is a cool little place. Oh! And I had a celebrity sighting: Shannon Saussaman from A Knight's Tale and 40 Days, 40 Nights. Pretty cool. And no, I didn't get any pictures. I respect the privacy thing that she was probably going for.

Again, I hope to have up pictures shortly but finding a memory card reader is proving harder than originally thought!
