Placencia, Belize: Part 2


"Sailing in Belize is equal parts rum, warm water and even warmer breezes, and more rum." Sharon Wagner, travel blogger, cat wrangler, rum aficionado and photo safari advocate.

"After a late night talking, drinking rum drinks and playing cards with other guests, we realize that Belize’s jungles are not good places to nurse a hangover. It’s hard to sleep. The jungle noises commence well before sunrise, a combination of howler monkeys, frogs, toads, toucans and cicadas that, together, make a sound we’ve never heard before."

-Dwight Garner















"Belize is so raw and so clear and so in-your-face. There’s an opportunity to see something about human nature that you can’t really see in a politer society, because the purpose of society is to mask ourselves from each other."

-John McAfee

I love that description of early morning jungle sounds. And of course your magnificent (as always) pictures! :-)

Su-sieee! Mac said...

Still, I'd rather wake up with a hangover in a natural jungle than an urban jungle. :-)

Sharon - I think one of the worst hangovers I have ever had was after just a wee too much rum ... I think the last quote captures Belize perfectly! Love the bird photos! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!

Life on and near the water is pretty special. Love your iguana.

Beautiful photos. One of our last trips before the pandemic was to Costa Rica and I absolutely LOVED it. I want to go to Belize. Maybe next year.
