Daryl’s Journal March 23
Today we went to St. Herman’s Blue Hole National Park. It was fun. First we went to St. Herman’s cave. It was dark. Some people got scared. It was cool. Then we went to the Blue Hole. There we played crocodile. It’s just like tag except it’s crocodile instead of “it”. Then we went into [...]

John’s Journal – March 22
“What is your all-time favorite place you have visited on this trip?” That’s the most common question people ask David and Daryl. Up until today the answer was Liard Hot Springs in British Columbia. Today that changed to “that river in Belize.” Today we had one of those truly unique days where everything just came [...]

Davy’s Journal March 22
Today when I woke up, I went to the Riesen’s RV. I had left my Gameboy in their RV in the knowledge that Edgar (one of the Riesen kids) would put fresh batteries in the Gameboy bag for letting him play on it for a long time. His favorite game is Kirby. Anyway, we [...]
A Soaking (Spanish Lookout, Belize)
“Are you sure you don’t want to put the bikes down in the garage?” Helmut asked. “Nah,” John replied. “Everyone’s waiting in the car. I’ll just cover the bikes with the tarp – it’ll be fine.” We had arrived into Spanish Lookout a few hours earlier and piled our bikes again Helmut and Anna’a RV. [...]
Davy’s Journal March 21
We met up with some old friends today – the Friesens. We met them about a month ago. We had met them near Minatitlan in Mexico. We met at a Pemex gas station. We played on waveboards. That was fun. But to get to the point – today we met them. We were pulling into [...]
Daryl’s Journal March 21
Today for breakfast we had oatmeal. Thankfully it didn’t have raisins. Raisins are horrible! Raisins totally ruin oatmeal and anything else! Then we left. We met up with a family we met a long time ago. It was fun.
Can I Help You? (Camalote, Belize)
“Can I help you?” We’ve gotten used to those words here in Belize.It seems like every time we stop, someone shows up to offer assistance. So we stood there at the junction trying to decide what to do. Going straight would take us in the direction we wanted to go – but there were no [...]
