I must change the optimistic tone of my previous Belize post. The rain is unusually hard and heavy for the past 2 weeks, and the forecast isn’t all the sunny either. Posts from bloggers already in Belize confirm that some roads are washed up, and it’s raining cats and dogs. In other words, it probably won’t look like anything like the photo above. The washed up roads in Placencia throws a wrench in our original plans of staying in Maya Beach. The rain was even enough for Tasha and Glen to cancel and head for Cabo or Hawaii. Totally understandable, but we’re glad Bettina is still going with us.
In late switch, instead of Maya Beach in Placencia, we will be staying at the Royal Carribean up north in Ambergris Caye. It works out well as the joint is about a mile from the main town, which will offer us plenty of wet weather activities. I’ll still be swinging in a hammock, and drinking beer under a palapa. Besides, if we’re going to be doing some diving, it never rains under the water.
All this rain has taught me to never be seduced by the low, low prices of the Caribbean in the summer. It’s just not worth it. Next summer, we’re going to Canada.
