Wed, 26 Jan
got up and packed my bags .... i did not buy one thing while in Caye Caulker, but somehow my bag hardly zipped shut!!! Darrel and i got on the 8:30am boat to Belize City. from Belize City, he was headed to Belmopan; and i had to take the bus there as well, to connect to the next bus to Dangriga. on the hour bus ride, he said he had never been to Dangriga, and was up for an 'adventure', so said he would go with me to Dangriga. this is our attempt at entertaining ourselves with the GoPro Camera while on the bus.
i was in Dangriga briefly last year after leaving Glovers, i knew there wasn't much to it, so i suggested we continue to Hopkins. i had heard that it was nicer there. but, the bus to Hopkins didn't leave until 5:15pm, and it was 1:30 when we arrived. so we 'toured' Dangriga, ... went to Pelican Beach, where there were a lot of Pelicans, duhhhhhhhhh.
walked around, had lunch at the Exquisite Restaurant ... it's more fun to travel with a friend :)
and a drink at a little roadside bar which was frequented by older-locals playing Dominos.
there isn't anything to do there, but we made the most of it. at 5:15, we boarded the bus to Hopkins, and arrived around 6:15 .... well, there isn't much in Hopkins either. i would suggest skipping both if you are touring the southern end of Belize. although it was near-dark when we arrived, we did find an unusual place to stay. Ransom's, is under a canopy of foliage and right on the beach.
Darrel 'humored me' and set up my 'mosquito netting' ... i've done pretty well by not being eaten by mosquitos and no-see-ums ... no time to start now.
there is a short video on You Tube using the GoPro Camera of Dangriga and Hopkins. that camera is a great 'toy' to capture videos ! go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4D9bXdhW68
