Honeymoon fun in Belize!

We had a terrific time on our honeymoon! We went to Placencia, in southern Belize, and it's awesome - much less developed and touristy than the north, with so many things to see and do! First, we flew to the capital, Belize City, and then we took a tiny little Cessna to Placencia.
We stayed in a wonderful little hotel - more beach house than resort. The owners are really welcoming and personable, their little restaurant was amazing.... and the view from our room, well..you really can't get much better!

We did different fun things every day - went kayaking and snorkeled off the kayak....
We saw a lot of fish, but the darned things are pretty fast! Starfish are easier to photograph.
We also took a second snorkeling trip on a speed boat out to the barrier reef to snorkel off one of the little islands with a guide - it was awesome!!
We found this road sign in town - maybe not yet appropriate.. :)
We made boat trips up jungle rivers and went on rainforest hikes - where we saw alligators, turtles, manatees, giant land crabs, beetles, huge trees, MOSQUITOES.....
and howler monkeys!We love boat trips!
We went on a trip to the southern inland portion to see Mayan villages and ruins. This was the view from a beautiful visitor center of the Nim Li Punit ruins. You can see all the way to the ocean.Though we didn't go to the large famous ruins, the ruins we saw were fairly impressive - the Lubantuun ruins here are a pretty extensive complex.We did get in a little bit of beach time...and made some new friends with whom we shared a wonderful seafood dinner!We already miss our tropical paradise!
