Garifuna day & travel day

Sat the 16th was our last day in Caye Caulker, super mellow for me because Nate went scuba diving and I just hung out on the little island. Night was fun because it turned out they were celebrating Garifuna settlement day. We went to a local bar where there was drumming and some local girls were having a little dance competition, which was fun to watch. Then we went over to the main bar and did some dancing of our own. Definitely a fun night!

The next day was travel day. We took the boat into the city and then walked through town to the bus depot. It was very interesting to walk through town and see how differently people live here than back home. Then we were on a 3 hr bus ride to get to the other side of Belize. We were on the main highway, but most of the area we passed through was land with some towns of dilapidated houses. The bus became close to overfilling, with 3 people jammed into seats meant for 2 people and the aisle completely filled with people.
