| Ok so here is Belize City, Belize ... This was our first stop and we decided to go Cave tubing in a 70 degree water, while Mom & Dad decided to do a tour of the City. Belize's official language is English but most speak a sort of Creole similar to that of New Orleans yet in the Spanish dialect verse the French dialect. Another thing we learned was a gallon of gas is approx $4/gallon us dollars .. and the average person in Belize makes about $12000/yr ... there were not a lot of cars driving around needless to say. They also have a HUGE import tax on any non Belizean item. Belize also has approx 129 cayes (pronounced keys) sounding it and the 2nd largest barrier reef in the world, 2nd only to the Great barrier reef. The largest area of employment is Travel & Tourism, and the largest export is banana's. |
