Our first, and favorite, port of call was Belize. We went on an amazing all-day excursion that consisted of a bus tour through the city, a visit to the ruins of Altun Ha and a boat ride on the River Wallace. We had a fabulous time - perfect weather, great guides and awesome sights!

Oops...I dressed like the staff!
Mark, holding a baby crocodile on the top of one of the ruinsWe stopped for lunch at a cute restaurant, but Mark and I ate outside by ourselves since we'd packed a lunch from the ship. This guy decided to join us.
After lunch, we took off on the river tour.
We saw some amazing animals including...
monkeys (my first time seeing them in the wild!),
bats,
iguanas,
fighting iguanas,
tons of crocodiles (I'd say this one is a little too close for comfort!),
dolphins,
and manatees!We were really amazed at all the wildlife we saw. The boat ride took up most of the afternoon so after we arrived back at the port town, we window shopped at a few stores, got our passports stamped (finally!) and headed back to the cruise ship (this was the only port where we didn't dock and had to take smaller boats to shore).
I'd love to visit Belize again...the main attractions are more adventurous activities (zip lines, cave tours, kayaking) so hopefully we'll get to go again after Mark's fully healed.
