Festival day

I wake at 5am and we've decided to get up early to go and catch the sunrise.As we walk through the square the noise of the birds and bats is incredible. I'm quite surprised at how many people are actually down here. We can't even get a view so very shortly after we walk back towards the hotel. There is no coffee shop open until 8:00 a.m. but as we walk down the street a guy is preparing to open I ask him is it possible for two coffees and he gladly agrees. I'm so glad as I barely slept last night and got a little bit burnt on the boat yesterday so I'm in desperate need for a pick me up. One coffee turns into 2 and we share a sandwich because they are so big. We don't really have any plans today as we we're going to leave last night but opted to stay for the festival that stars this afternoon. So much preparation is going into it as stands tables and stages are erected in the town square. It is so hot today I feel absolutely drained and head back to the hotel to watch the football. It's on at 10am so nowhere is open to watch it so I stream it and watch it on my phone. We have a lunch of sushi on the square but I'm really struggling to eat in the heat. I'll be ok in a day ot two when I acclimatise to the heat.We take a little siesta before going to explore the festival. I wanted to stay another day because I enjoy music but it's actually a gastronomical festival with food in abundance and with my eating not being great has been a bit of a waste of time. After a little shopping around we book our bus to Belize before having a few drinks before bed.Read more
