The trip to Belize, that I was not looking forward too, actually turned out great. We somewhat cheated the system and only stayed in Belize for about 30 hours or our 'required' 72, but they stamped out passports and that's all that matters. This allowed us to spend a day at Rio Dulce, Guatemala (which we had wanted to visit but wouldn't have been able to). In addition, the one day in Belize was just the right amount of time to find a bus to a waterfall with a large pool at the bottom that we could jump into...and we had the whole place to ourselves.
It was part of a National Park or something and we think we were supposed to pay, but we didn't. We saw some sign that we think said foreigners pay $42. We had just gotten off an hour and half bus ride and the next bus going past wouldn't be for another 2-3 hours, so we did not want to leave. We decided to pretend we didn't see the sign and just keep walking. The most intense part was leaving because we would have to walk past the information office again, except this time in swim suits. We talked for about 20 minutes trying to think of the best plan, and backup plan, to avoid having to pay any sort of entry fee...especially $42. In the end, we just walked out, no one saw us or questioned us and the plan was for nothing...but it made the experience that much more memorable. In addition to lots of jumping, we decided to do a little tropical modeling.
Rio Dulce was great. We had a sweet bungalo above the water and got to go kayaking down the river as well as have fun taking jumping pictures off of the swimming raft. Sorry I don't have any elaborate story because it was actually a highlight of the whole trip.
