I have only been back from my last trip for about 6 weeks, yet i am going again in two days! Belize has made a major impact on me and became my most favorite destination! This time i will explore some more and hopefully see different sites. Also i have not given up on hoping to spot a jaguar in the wild. I guess it will always be a good reason to come back to Belize for more time.

This time around my plan is really sketchy. I fly into Cancun again (great deal via ATL with Delta) and make my way down to Belize by bus. My first destination is Caye Caulker yet again and i will spend some time with friends on the island, snorkel, swim, sail, fish and do all the things i love so much! I am sure the slow pace will come back to me instantly when setting foot on the sandy roads of CC again!

In my second of three weeks in total i am planning to do some more exploring around San Ignacio. 5-Sister-Falls or Bullet Tree Falls would be nice and i might be able able to string up a stay at 5-Sisters-Lodge.  A friend of mine spoke highly of it and i can’t wait to go and see for myself. One of my island friends from CC has family in this area and will be traveling with me. In addition to the falls we will be riding horses through the jungle,

something else i can’t wait to do!

Last but not least i will try to visit Cockscomb Basin although i’ve heard that there is not much to do or see other than being food for the local moskito population. Nevertheless i will check it out for myself and report back on it on my blog!

I will enjoy the local food again and try to go back to eat at Hannah’s in San Ignacio!  This time i will also try new things i hadn’t had a chance to try the first time, like coconut fudge.

For all of you backpackers… there ARE essential things you may wanna bring with you instead of having to buy it in Belize. Remember, most things are imported and more expensive than at home. And if you buy on an island, you are going to pay even more due to things having to be brought there via boat. The more remote the island, the higher the price of whatever you buy.

The essential things i would advise to buy at home are simple things such as sunblock (about 10USD on Caye Caulker), moskito repellent (15USD on Caye Caulker) and clothes (more and nicer selection at home). When it comes to personal hygene you can find pretty much anything anywhere and the Asian-owned supermarkets are stocked well on most US-products. Any of the ladies requiring special hair products will be best advised to bring them with them as well.

Remember not to pack  too much. You will have to carry what you pack and i don’t think a selection of 25 tops and 8 pairs of pants is necessary in a country as relaxed as Belize. Pack a pair of sturdy shoes (tennis shoes should do) for hiking/exploring the jungle and a pair of long pants to ward of bugs.

When it comes to personal items… cell phone chargers and electricity adapter plug for anyone NOT coming in from the US, a good book or two to read while relaxing in a hammock and of course the camera equipment to take oodles of gorgeous pictures!

If you have any questions or comments, let me know and i will blog on it or write back to you if you hand me a return email address!
