Belize city

English speaking country at last, I thought! The bus driver played some cool reggae on the way to Belize city and a young woman sat next to me. After a while she started talking to me and I was shocked because I could understand nothing. Later I figured people here speak two languages: English and Belizean English, the second being not understandable at all.
The hostel was cool. Nice people ran it - Mitch, the owner who was from the US and Donna (hope I spelled it correctly) who took care of running it. Our next destination was Caye Caulker where I wanted to do snorkeling. The problem was that I had just glasses so I needed to get contacts. Donna took me and Mitch to an eye doctor (Mitch also needed a pair of glasses/lenses). He bought glasses and I got the contacts. We talked about why scissors, jeans, glasses and lenses are always in a pair (pair of scissors etc.). Guess what saying "You have a nice pair!" to a girl could mean. :D On the way back we went through a neighborhood I would never set my foot in but Mitch apparently knew what he was doing. He bought a cell phone from a street vendor there. I so regretted not having my camera with me.
In the evening we went to Princess to play bowling with Mitch and Tara (an american solo traveler doing a trip around the world. I hope you are doing great, if you are reading this! Tara had a cool story of her own - she was camping somewhere in Mexico and one day, when she came to the place where she built the tent, there was no tent. Instead, a stream was making its way through.). I won both the bowling games :) This was actually our second visit to Princess - the first time we went there we wanted to go to the cinema and see the Hobit movie. Guess what! They only had movies that were out for about 6 months and the cinema had just one screen. You may say, "try another movie theater" but there were no other movie theaters. Belize City has only one. On the way back from bowling we entered a hotel and pretending to be guests, we took a bath in the hotel's whirlpool. Like a boss ;) Then we had a beer in a bar (again, I probably wouldn't enter such a bar if Mitch wasn't with us. :D)
