Dangriga. Choosing accomodation here wasn't so easy, and anything decent seems to be on the pricy side. Anyway we found a room with bathroom for $40 US a night and decided just to stay the 1 night.
We had a nice Belizean meal at the Riverside Cafe and while there were visited by a few interesting locals who came for a chat, and also of course to try to sell us some tours.
Over dinner we considered the possibility of flying to Caye Caulker. Driving to Belize city and leaving the car at the airport there was unanimously considered crazy by the locals. The airport staff at Dangriga assured us the car would be safe in their car park for 4 or 5 days. Sold! Even for the 2 of us there was little difference in cost of flying compared to petrol and water taxis. And who needs an excuse to get to another favourite destination in the quickest possible way? Lets GO! Outta Here!
Tip - Marie Sharp's Hot sauce factory does a great tasting session (free) and sells great hot sauce!
We have also been told by other travellers this is a good place to go to the smaller Cayes from. Tobacco Caye in particular is a tiny Caye with just a few cottages, where you can snorkell from the beach and see amazing marine life.
However, we think Dangriga is a great place to park the car and take a flight to the Caribbean Islands. Whohoo!!
