Duane hanging out at the cabana.
We drove down the Hummingbird highway and to the coast to the tiny town of Hopkins. Hopkins has the look of a backpackers paradise from about 40 years ago. Not much for big hotels and restaurants. Lots of hostels and cabanas right on the beach. This is a picture of our little home for the night. It wasn't bad. We figured that having electricity and indoor plumbing made this at least a three star! What it lacked in luxury, it made up for in view. Right on the beautiful white beach. After a night of drinking on the deck, we got up at 5:30am to watch the sunrise. It was cloudy! Oh well, we got an early start on the road!
We spent the day driving back to Corozal. The plan was to hang out here and make a trip out to the Cerros Maya ruins. But the weather didn't cooperate. It rained most of the time that we were away so the roads were pretty crappy. The 'trail' into Cerros would have been pretty ugly so we cancelled that plan. We hung around town, shopped, ate and enjoyed the company of really good friends. It was so nice to have Judi and Duane here.
But the visit came to an end. Yesterday morning we headed to Belize City to take Judi and Duane to the airport. The last two weeks have been awesome but I'm feeling a little sad today. We'll miss you guys!!!
