April Blogging A to Z Challenge 2026: Y is for Yellowtail Snapper

 We did feed some yellowtail snapper carcasses to some of the ambassador crocodiles in Belize. Yellowtail Snapper are delicious to eat. I did not get to go fishing in Belize, but I did enjoy eating this fish in local restaurants. Living in Florida I have caught this species in the past. With the large reef in Belize the country is a great place to catch this fish,

April Blogging A to Z Challenge 2026: V is for Vacation in Belize

 After spending over 30 days in Belize would I recommend Belize for a vacation? Absolutely. So much to do in Belize from visiting Maya temples, jungles, mountains, lagoons, the Caribbean, cities, towns and villages. The people are friendly, English is the official language, different cultures, good food, nature, fishing, boating, diving, scuba, snorkeling, zip lining, kayaking, rafting, hiking, relaxing the list of things to do is almost endless. Not a place for being in a rush as things are done in Belizean time. 

The friends I made was worth the trip alone. The adventures I had will last a lifetime. After a year I still speak fondly of the trip.

April Blogging A to Z Challenge 2026: T is for Transportation in Belize

 The forms of transportation I used in Belize was planes, boats, buses, taxis, vans, and borrowed vehicles. Not everyone in Belize owns a cars and where I spent the majority of the time golf carts were pretty common. Walking and bicycles was also a manner to get around.


I did ride a bus from Placencia to Belmopan which was an adventure. A bit cramp being 5'11 and over 200lbs. On the way back we had to be resourceful in get a taxi ride back. 

Most tourist tours provide transportation in vans! We were in a boat most days and I flew by small plane from Belize City to Placencia to and from my international flights.


Transportation was part of the adventure!
