Our last day in Belize. Today we left Thatch Caye and started heading back home. Here are the last few photos from our trip.

Today it rained pretty hard on Thatch Caye so we stayed indoors most of the day. Eventually, the rain stopped for a while so we decided to try snorkeling at one of the beaches on the island.

We didn’t make any plans today, so we enjoyed a very relaxed day hanging out on the island. Here are a few snapshots.

Today we left Thatch Caye to visit neighboring Tabacco Caye by kayak. Our guide Ishmael was incredibly powerful on the water, while Kate and I, were not. Turns out, it’s pretty hard paddling a two-person kayak!

Today we went fishing and caught a couple of incredibly beautiful fish that looked like something straight out of an aquarium at the zoo. The fish provided food for everyone on the island, especially the massive African Pompano caught by me.

Today we spent our last morning at Gaia Riverlodge and boarded a very small plane to Dangriga city. From there we boarded a boat that took us to the remote island Thatch Caye, where we’ll spend the next week.

Today we left Gaia Riverlodge and took another day trip. This one, however, was particularly special. We left Belize and visited the Mayan ruins of Tikal in Guatemala.

Today we took a canoe ride down the Macal River, had lunch in San Ignacio, and explored the Mayan ruins at the archaeological site of Xunantunich.

Today we left Gaia Riverlodge to check out ATM Cave and Barton Creek & Canopy Zipline. When we got back we biked to Big Rock Falls where we had the gorgeous waterfall all to ourselves.

Our honeymoon adventure begins! We leave Detroit at 4:30am and arrive in Belize to start our two-week trip. I’m bringing my Sony camera and will document the trip through a series of blog posts.
