Day1 Dean and I Left from San Diego airport at 12 P.M. and arrived at Municipal airport in Belize city at 6:30 P.M., after getting off the plane we went over to the concession stand and bought some snacks for the taxi ride to the hostel. When we arrived at our hostel Dean and I were greeted buy the owner Steve who introduced us to the other tourists staying there, Steve also showed us the dinning area which was a large open porch overlooking the sea. The hostel also had snacks you can purchase, so we bought some more to fill us up seeing how the airport snacks didn't do much. After Steve finished the tour we sat down and planed out the rest of our trip for the next six days, when done it was about 9:00 P.M. so we decided to go to our dorms and go to bed for the night. Day2 Today Dean and I woke up early ate a quick snack for breakfast and took a taxi to the grocery store to buy breakfast and lunch for the next six days. After taking a taxi back home do drop of the food, we decided to pack a lunch and walk to the beach. One the beach Dean and I meet a group of people playing volley ball and invited us to join them, and we joined them for a few games. After playing a few good games of valley ball, we sat on the beach and listened to music and ate a late lunch and fell asleep for about an hour and a half. When we woke up it was about 6P.M.so we called it a day and went back to the hostel and drop off our stuff. When we arrived at the hostel few of the other guests (Tom and Sarah) that where staying at the hostel where going to Chon Saan Palace Chinese Restaurant, and they invited to go along, so we decided to go and we all walked about a mile to get there. When we arrived Dean and I both ordered a Orange chicken and rice bowl. While eating we learned that Tom and Sarah were spending their honeymoon in Belize city, so we bought them a few drinks to celebrate. After eating dinner we went back to the hostel and played pool and talk to Tom and Sarah until one in the morning. Day3 After that long night Dean and I woke up at 10A.M., ate a quick breakfast before packing lunch an going to The Museum of Belize. The museum was only a few blocks away from our hostel so we decided to walk. When we got to the museum we learned that the Museum was a prison back in 1857, and was opened as a museum in 2002.The museum had many pieces from 600 BC to 1500AD, and a huge room filled with stamps of official Belize stamps. After Dean and I were finished looking at all the artifacts in the museum we went to the courtyard and ate our packed lunch. Before we left we stopped at the souvenir shop and bought a few key chains with pictures of Belize on them. At 5P.M. we got a taxi and rode to Elvia's fast food, and picked up some fish, beans, and rice and headed back to the hostel, where we ate our dinner and watched t.v. until 8P.M. than went to bed. Day4 Today Dean and I had to wake up early to catch a taxi to catch a tour of the city, so we woke up took a quick shower, at a small breakfast, and left forgetting to pack a lunch. When we arrived to the tour bus we looked at historic buildings and took pictures of the supreme court building flanked by cannons in the battle of St. George's Caye in 1798. After the city tour we headed up the western highway 40 minutes to Belize's zoo to view Belize's prolific wildlife all in one location and we got to feed the leopard and get our pictures taken with it. Since we forgot to pack our lunch we had to grab a burger at the zoo's cafeteria which was the size of our heads, so we had plenty of left overs. Soon after eating we had to get back on the bus and head back to the city, where we got another taxi and drove to the hostel. By the time we got back it was 8P.M., because it was so late we didn't want to go out to get something to eat to we just had our left overs and went to bed early for tomorrow's tour. Day5 Today Dean and I woke up early not because our tour started early, but so we could get breakfast because toast and jam has been getting old. We went to Cinderella Plaza and ate fried jack and fresh cut fruit. From the restaurant we took a taxi to our historic tour of Belize we got to see many historical buildings and take many photos. The bus stopped at the beach so we could eat our lunch and walk around to stretch our legs. After lunch the bus headed back to where we departed at first than, from there we took a taxi back to the hostel. When we got back we found out Tom and Sarah were heading back to the states so exchanged goodbye's. After Tom and Sarah left we hung out at the Hostel for a while until about 6P.M. than we left to Sumathi Indian restaurant and ate dinner, after dinner we were tired from the exhausting week so we went back to the hostel and went to bed without doing anything else.

Day6 Today Dean and I woke up this morning realizing this was our last full day in Belize so we wanted to make it our best. We woke up and prepared our selves for our 7 hour cave tubing trip so we at breakfast, took a shower, and packed a big lunch. We left our hostel in a taxi to get on the bus that took us to jaguar paw resort where we got to take a 124ft zip line trip 70ft high at canopy level, than we went to the caves branch river and hiked a winding path that lasted 45 minutes that leads to an entrance to an underground tunnel where our guide gave us a flash light and an inter tube that we had to inflate. Thankfully before we floated down the river we ate a our packed lunch, because the float lasted well long past noon. The cave we floated in had walls filled with crystalline formations, we took pictures but they didn't come out that well on the camera, that was alright though because at the end of our tour we bought pictures the guide took of our group, we also bought some water to cool us off. After the the tour we arrived back at the hostel at about 6P.M., thats when we started our laundry and packed everything for our flight to Rio De jienero tomorrow, than we headed off to bed to get some rest. Day7 Today Dean and I decided to sleep in because we had a long week and our flight didn't leave until 1:30 P.M., so when we woke up at 9P.M. we at the last of our food, took a quick shower, said our good buys to Steve (owner of the hostel), than we where in the taxi off to the airport. When we arrived at the airport we thought we would be late for boding, but it didn't matter because our flight was delayed for an hour. While Waiting we decided to call out family and buy a snack at the concession stand. While Dean was making his phone call i got a horrible headache, so I bought a bottle of asperine, and by the time I finished it was time to board the plane, so Dean and I grabbed our bags and were on our way to Rio De Jienero.
