After crossing the border into Guatemala we caught the "Sharkboy" water taxi from Puerto Barrios to Punta Gorda, Belize.
Welcome sign in Punta Gorda, Belize.
We first visited the Maya ruins of Uxbenka but it was not very well excavated and pictures weren't worth sharing here. So, after a rain storm, we visited the Maya ruins of Lubaantun next. It was a beautiful site to visit, too!
We visited the Maya ruins of Nim Li Punit next. Here's the ballcourt at the site.
Picture of main plaza at Nim Li Punit.
I also took this picture of a black-headed trogon while at the site.
I couldn't pass up taking a picture of these beautiful flowers in the small flower garden at the entrance of the site.
Eduardo and I woke up early on this morning and made an attempt to visit the Maya ruins of Pusil-ha near the Guatemala border. It had rained a lot the previous days and the river was up near the village. So, we had to cross this home-made wooden bridge to get to the entrance of the village.
Once we crossed that bridge and walked a short distance down the road our dreams of visiting the Maya ruins of Pusil-ha on this day and in the near future evaporated. This was the only road into the village and the river could not be crossed on foot because the current was too strong. We would have been swept away if we tried to cross. Oh well, maybe another day!
Eduardo and I split up. He went back to Guatemala and I hopped a plane to Caye Caulker for some beach time! Whoop!
Looking down main street at Caye Caulker.
Ahhhhhh.......finally some relaxation at the beach.
I decided to go fishing with Porfinio "Piggy" Guzman and here's one of the jacks I caught.
