... Farewell!

A - lingering - sailors brought us yesterday with his car to the airport. In view of the offer to us later that he still wanted to accompany Verproviantierungstour and the fact that a taxi would have cost measly $ 60 (we're spoiled from Columbia) that was ever a good start of the day. At the airport, then the usual tears! Sniff .... 3 weeks viiiiieeeel go around to you again soon and there will be probably only in the South Seas. Let's hope it goes well with the flight. be there with you because it will blow soon so powerful!

After extensive shopping and sightseeing we went back late in the afternoon on board and have hergemacht about the further route. The day after tomorrow it goes back a piece in the direction of Guatemala. Knappe 120 nm ... so a cozy day's ride behind the reef.

In Rio Dulce, we will probably then take on the SY Upps are indeed gecruist in recent weeks even in Cuba. Diving with sharks and such. Together we want to be the ancient Maya cities of Tikal and Flores explore.

BUT ... first will be celebrated tomorrow Heikes birthday !!!!!!!!!

Heikes sister again ... leaving us

So again one last Dinghytour in the mangroves of Water Cay and one last look at the reef. Then it went in the direction of Marina Belize City, which also fortunately still had a place for us free. Cases per Dinghy towing is sooo funny

Speaking of space! In the marina are approximately 95% of local excursion boats, as first virtually no cruising here on the move (we have seen in the last three weeks, only three others) and second The entrance is only about 1.80 m deep. As a divorce from a few! Why is nothing going on up here I know is not that exactly, but I think that most prefer the classic route ... barefoot. So Eastern Caribbean -> Venezuela -> most recently Colombia -> San Blas Islands and then down through the Panama Canal. Pity!

Anyway ... we went yesterday evening for a final dinner in the Marina Restaurant and immediately it goes to the airport. Then we are alone again!

Yesterday was first Sightseeing in Belize City on the program.

The tour guide had not promised too much. The town is very run down and there is nothing special to see. The only appealing place is a huge shopping complex in which the tourist cruise ships are unloaded. For locals, no admittance! And that's why there are all pissed at the current government. Belize makes a Schw .... Coal with the tourists (yes, I told them), but somehow the money is not received by the residents. The roads are in a catastrophic state of the houses we want to only say nothing, and - although Belize is now even promotes oil - the fuel prices have almost doubled in one year. In addition, the foreign investors are deterred Urch extremely high taxes. Man .... the taxi driver talked himself into a great rage! Stock Auer of the best! I tell you man!

Well ... we first have plenty of bunkers and immediately it starts in the Riffwelt. At the moment we only have the port entrance is at the track. At low tide it has since it is only 1.80m. Could be tight!
