SAN IGNACIO I.II.VII.III – DAY THREE 29/09/22 The following morning, all sad and teary eyed, we gave each other one last goodbye kiss and hug. He told me he had no idea what he was gonna do without me. That he wantED to be in my life forever. That he’d move heaven and earth to be with me. My alarm […]

I.II.VII.II – San Ignacio: Day Two
SAN IGNACIO I.II.VII.II – DAY TWO 28/09/22 Something I failed to mention about Roy is that he doesn’t swim. After two swimming-related deaths in his family, he’s remained apprehensive about swimming in areas where his feet don’t touch ground – rightfully so. Which meant we’d spend our penultimate day together apart, having had already booked a tour to the Actun […]

I.II.VII.I – San Ignacio: Day One
SAN IGNACIO I.II.VII.I – DAY ONE 27/09/22 Having to peel myself away from Roy and getting out of the most comfortable bed in existence proved to be one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Luckily enough, we had a full day of activities and adventures ahead of us. After having breakfast and bidding Kay and Darcy adieu, Roy and […]

I.II.VI.I – Belmopan: Day One
BELMOPAN I.II.VI.I – DAY ONE 26/09/22 After another day spent in the cabaña, seeking refuge from rain and all outside activity alike, it was time for me to get back on the road. This time round, it’d be a quick stop to the capital; Belmopan, where I’d be meeting Roy again. I remember waking up feeling all giddy and excited at […]

I.II.V.II – Placencia?: Day Two
PLACENCIA? I.II.V.II – DAY TWO 25/09/22 The place I had come to call my ‘safe haven’ quickly stopped being that as my streak of bad luck went on. At around 1AM, I could hear shouting and screaming coming from the cabaña to my left. Being the observant person that I am (most would describe it as nosy), I took it upon myself […]

I.II.V.I – Placencia?: Day One
PLACENCIA? I.II.V.I – DAY ONE 24/09/22 I woke up bright and early to catch the bus from Hopkins to the intersection outside the town, where I’d get on another one that would lead me to my next destination; Placencia. What followed, instead, is what I like to refer to as a series of unfortunate events. Always the punctual type, I […]

I.II.IV.II – Hopkins: Day Two
HOPKINS I.II.IV.II – DAY TWO 23/09/22 My next adventure took me to the Mayflower Bocawina National Park. Finally – some green, and, most importantly, some time to roam a tropical forest (alone)! When I was in Mexico, I was doing these kinds of things on most days, but here in Belize, it felt like I had been cheating on trees […]

I.II.IV.I – Hopkins: Day One
HOPKINS I.II.IV.I – DAY ONE 22/09/22 The following morning, with a heaviness in my heart, I bid Becca and Oliver farewell. Then tears started flowing as it was Roy’s turn. I could not even begin to comprehend how I had fallen for him so bad in such little time! We promised we’d see each other again. He’d accompany me to […]

I.II.III.IV – Caye Caulker (Again): Day Four
CAYE CAULKER (AGAIN) I.II.III.IV – DAY FOUR 21/09/22 Fully rested and recovered, I wiped the crust off my eyes as I remembered this would be my last day in Caye Caulker. Sullenly, I got off my bed and headed downstairs. Right in front of Roy’s resort was a rum paunch stand where we’d be hanging out during the morning festivities. […]

I.II.III.III – Caye Caulker (Again): Day Three
CAYE CAULKER (AGAIN) I.II.III.III – DAY THREE 20/09/22 My time in Caye Caulker was running short. Judy, having given her blessing to Roy about taking my hand in marriage (?!?!), had also bid us adieu. Next up, would be me. It was so sad that none of us wanted to think about it. In wanting to change the subject as […]
