I was really excited about going in Spring of 2022 but with this Covid flare-up & major disruptions in airlines plus increased costs of tickets but most of all this mask wearing after. 1,2,3 vaccinations, especially wearing a mask outside is useless & utterly ridiculous as well as scientifically proven not to work !!!

How were the cost of things post pandemic ? Scuba diving is my thing & I want to teach it there on the island one day

Thanks for sharing. Why was it terrible?

@@Nina-vs1ry long boat ride while having salt water sprayed in my face the entire time. Boat was packed so changing seats wasn't an option. When we got there, the island, the beach, and the food was all disappointing.

@@Nina-vs1ry it’s a tiny island with not much to do but lounge, caye caulker is much bigger and there’s more activities and restaurants and lodging. San Pedro is even bigger and more developed but more expensive

There are many hostels that are actually much much better than hotels, with large private rooms with ensuite bathroom, incredible views and amazing people.

@@dellanomike Really? I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the info.

May I ask how your visit went. Considering to travel solo as well in near future.

I'd say Belize is on average safer than Guatemala, so you should be good.

Hahahahahahaha, "you better Belize it " that is "pura vida" , hahahahahahaha !!

This is from the end of 2018. Mark said he found a bunch of videos he had not uploaded.

I think if it is daylight and you're not stupid, you can navigate some of Belize city with few or no issues. We went and walked around the city a little. There isn't anything really worth going too far into the city that's for sure. But regardless of where you travel, you have to be aware of your surroundings or your become vulnerable.

@@valtracy17 I always ask. I asked where I could go that evening. I was told the park next to the hotel. That was it. I also asked about walking to the port. It was maybe a mile. She said no take a cab. Just cause you get away with something 1 time doesnt make it any less dangerous. Its an odds game. You keep taking bad odds and you will lose at some point. Lets also factor in Belize and guatamala are not that cheap. For what you spend, you can be in much nicer accommodations in much nicer cities that are much cheaper. Per day Portugal, spain, the Balkans, Greece, and even Austria are comparable to the money spent and a lot nicer and safer. Almost all of south america is better bang for the buck with more to see. Take Ecuador where you can be on the Pacific Coast, go up the rain forest, cloud forest, high Andes, cloud forest, then Amazon jungle in 2 day on a bus. Plus ruins and a bunch of native cultures. Peru from seashore to incredible gorges to high Andes to cloud forest to Amazon river. Chan Chan, paracas, moche, chachacoya, inca, hauri, tawanaka, nazca, coral, and so many ruins. Modern day native americans still with old culture everywhere. Pretty safe. Great bus system. Great cheap flights in country. Places like rainbow mountain, Laguna 69 and all kinds of pretty places. Mexico is in a class all it own. Very safe in the south out side of cancun. Even central mexico is safe as is mexico City. Many pretty colonial and renaissance, native American cities and some really great nature. Palenque and Sam cristabol in the south are amazing. Go up to the beaches by merida or the Pacific coast if you like beaches. Much more mexico culture then cancun and that area.

@@valtracy17 after 5 continents and many countries only a few I felt like I did enough to say I did it and/or to many other places to go. Venezuela, Belize, guatamala, the north Africa countries I was in. Even costa rica the pearl of central America isnt that nice. I live on an island in South florida with the Bahamas 70 miles away. I loved the swimming around the belize islands. If that's your thing, its the place to be. Many people may want a more rounded holiday.

@@theodoresmith5272 oh, don't get me wrong. I would never live in any of these countries. We actually researched them for retirement. We are now looking in Florida between the peninsula to the southern tip for a Catamaran to live on. Then after retirement sail to the western Caribbean. So no, living in those places is not my thing and I've traveled to those places and don't feel the need to ever go back.
