Quick post from the BGAN.

Belize is awesome.

We are in a very remote camp in the jungle, at the five blues lake. Technical access via jungle tracks. All alone with the sounds of the jungle around us.

James and I explored towards the lake from the camp spot and got into deep mud and tight jungle. Will post video clip tomorrow.

Here is a teaser image:

Why?

OK, you have a smooth dry road to your right and you are in the water on the left???

I don't get it.

Sounds like you are having too much fun!

Neither do I. Maybe looks are deceiving.

Sounds like you're have a great trip, Scott. We're enjoying the posts.

PS On Edit: I forgot to mention that if you find yourselves in Belize City for a night or two, we highly recommend the Four Street Guest House and the Chateau Caribbean Hotel/Restaurant. Grand places if you have to be in a city.

I told you Belize was the best....



I loved it there. I can't wait to go back.

Maybe the water path is the real road and the Upper portion is a new bypass.

Because you don't see the pile of dirt just outside of the picture A blade project that was never finished...

We cross into Guatemala tomorrow, and the jungles near Tikal. It will be at least a few days before a reliable internet connection will be available again.

Just for fun, I put together a little video of our drive into Five Blues Lake in Belize.

I'll take your word for it ...

Nice video. Never been to Belize, looks like you are still having too much fun!

For more information on why the Five Blues Lake road is the way it is, read this:

Mystery of the Five Blues Lake

Essentially, all of this infrastructure was brought in, a road, signs, ramada, etc. and then even road improvements (we were driving on the original road, which had a cobblestone road bed in many places).

An incredible place!
