Our First UnBelizeable Day! (Sunday)

My love of biking isn’t just because it keeps the kids contained and entertained.  Today we rode bikes along the coast of Belize, and it was so much fun!  Because of the large coral reef and being close to the equator, there is no tide in Belize.  So the sand is always packed down, and really easy to ride your bike on.  The “tropical wave” (torrential downpour!) washed up a lot of junk along the coastline.  If you have ever lost a flip flop, I’m pretty sure you could find it along the Belizean coast!  We also saw lots of shells, coconuts galore, wild flowers, lizards, and one snake. 










We found a great place for lunch, and finished the afternoon with a dip in the pool.



A tropical wave not only sent us to our room before dark, but covered our front room with water!
