We had heard all about the donut lady from our friends, but we never seemed to be able to catch her at the right time, which would be approximately 7:00 am. She carries lovely donuts in a plastic tub on her head and walks up and down Main Street and sells them. They are usually gone very quickly.

We’ve met some awesome people who have been a constant source of information as to how things work here – where to find the best bread, where to find the best juice – there’s a man who rides around on a trike with a cooler on the back filled with juice that he makes himself – and it’s delicious!

After 2 days of traveling, 3 time zones and 4 airplanes, we were more than elated to finally arrive in Placencia. Hungry and in dire need of a stiff drink, we headed down to the nearest restaurant/pub suggested by our landlady.

Very excited to be flying to Belize! We managed to get packed without too much trouble. We hadn’t accumulated too much – just a few clothes to suit the hotter climate.
