    Off to the islands

    11. März 2025 in Belize ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    We are catching the bus to Belize city port today. The bus ticket we bought is a hop on hop off so we can literally catch the bus going in either direction. The bus isn't till 1030 so we have been recommended a place to take breakfast. The people here are so friendly and you can definitely feel the Caribbean influence here. Bobby keeps shouting at me for saying good morning to people as I attract the wrong crowd but I keep on doing it to annoy him. There is no definite time for the bus because they don't know how long it will take them to get through the border so she says to wait there between 1030 and 11. The bus eventually turns up at 1200 and it's a big one so we quickly board and arrive at the harbour an hour later. There are a lot of people here. Half travelling to San Pedro, half travelling to caye caulker. We board the boat and the crossing takes 45 minutes. I can't get prime over here but after checking in and dropping our bags we head out to get a bite 2 eat . When we walk in the bar I'm pleasantly surprised see the football on the only bad side is the bar is full of french. The less said about the result the better. We go and book our snorkeling trip and head to a beach bar to grab a beer. The rest is history. I end up on the rum and don't even remember getting home.Weiterlesen

    Boat day

    12. März 2025 in Belize ⋅ 🌙 27 °C

    We've booked a day out on the boat today to do some snorkeling. I'm absolutely hanging so hoping I don't end up being sick in my mask. The boat leaves at 930 so we take the chance to grab a coffee and a bit of breakfast. The island is so small 4km square and half the people from last night at the bar are at the cafe. The catamaran can carry 24 people but we only have 19 on board today. Half an hour into sailing we anchor off at coral garden where we get to snorkel for a good hour. I see my first eagle ray as well as numerous fish and eels. It's quite an experience to be beneath the sea and see so many different shapes and sizes. Back on the boat and our next stop is shark alley. As soon as we drop anchor we see the sharks begin to arrive and within seconds there are loads of them. When they ask if I want to get in I hesitate at first but they are only nursing sharks so I agree. Our last stop is hol Chan which translates to little channel.The Hol Chan Marine Reserve was established as a marine protected area in 1987 under Laws of Belize. It incorporates the southernmost marine and coastal areas of Ambergris Caye including the barrier reef, seagrass beds and the mangrove islands of Boca Chica and Cangrejo Shoals. A zoning scheme was developed in order to ensure sustainable use and guarantee its conservation. Hol Chan is divided into four zones which include no-take areas and zones that regulate and promote sustainable fishing practices..Many tourists come here in boats but the law is you can only be anchored here for an hour at the most. The sealife here is amazing and I can certainly see what the attraction is. Sadly we don't get to see manatees as it's too early in the season but everything else makes up for it. It's election day on the island and all the bars are closed, which is a saving grace for me with the hangover I've had today. We shower and head for dinner at Willy's . He has no menus but cooks whatever is fresh that day on the BBQ. Today it's pork fish or shrimp. It's delicious and really cheap for the island. With no bar to go to it's an early night with Netflix.Weiterlesen

    Beach chilling

    13. März 2025 in Belize ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    I wake early this morning and decide to stroll out for the sunrise. It's quiet and I can get a coffee at 6am. I stay down here till 830 just chatting.Then head back to the room with a coffee for Bobby. We have a pool outside our room and I'm happy to just chill here this morning reading my book. I'm amazed at how many people speak English here and chatting to the local people they tell me that English is the first language taught here. At lunchtime we take a stroll around the island where we just so happen to find a bar called the big tiity bar with a pool table, where I do a little hustling. I've met some really cool people here who have packed up there whole lives to come and live here. Unlike most countries you don't need a local investment. Although Belize is a rapidly developing country with a decent per capita income, the economy is still in its infancy. Therefore, the government is keen on welcoming and facilitating foreign investors who help develop the country’s infrastructure or offer jobs to the Belizeans. We grab a shower and head to benders bar for happy hour meeting up with the people we met the other night. On the pier are swarms of pelicans and in the water literally on the shore is a stingray. Bobby has changed his plans and is staying on the island, so I book my boat out of here for the 15th. In a way I'm quite glad to have a few days just on my own. We take dinner in the bar opposite which has live music and eat with the red moon setting over the water before retiring to bed.

    Lesbos

    9. September 2025 in Griechenland ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    After a 4 HR direct flight and a 2 hour car drive I arrive at eresos. The area remains significant for its historical monuments, its natural beauty, and as a vibrant meeting point for the lesbian community, known for the international Eressos Women's Festival. I didn't realise when I booked it that it was actually during the time of the festival, and the island is hosting an additional 1000 lesbians to celebrate the poet Sappho who's birthplace this was. I have already bought a ticket so join in the fun. Occasionally mentioning that I'm straight I'm told " don't worry it's not your fault"😭. The festival is really well organised and on the opening night they have a selection of artists from all over the world who had the whole place rocking. Absolutely brilliant and to top it off the most beautiful view .
    I make my way back to the Airbnb but the place is down some little alleyways and at night everywhere looks the same. I spend nearly 40 minutes walking up and down carrying the six bottles of water id bought before putting the water back in the car and trying again. Within 5 minutes I found it and was almost in tears as the gate opened and I drop myself straight to bed    Weiterlesen

    Inspirational women

    19. September 2025 in Griechenland ⋅ 🌬 22 °C

    I haven't written daily like I usually do, mostly because I've been so busy doing workshops and enjoying the entertainment. I arrived in Lesvos without realising I'd booked onto a 2 week lesbian festival. I want to write because the love, involvement and inclusion I've felt since being here has been phenomenal. I'm never one to put people into boxes or stereotypes and have met some truly amazing and wonderful souls here. It's been nice to just relax and unwind without the hinderance of men. A lot of women here have their own stories to tell and have struggled and persevered to be accepted in a society that is judgemental.As much as things have progressed we still have a long way to go. Ive watched movies of the battles these beautiful women have had to endure to be partially accepted but we still have a long way to go. I don't get inspired very often but I truly have been here. Several people have really touched my heart. Vito a lady who was kicked out the Royal Navy for being gay. Catrina McHugh who co founded open clasp and has rightly been honoured with an MBE. My favourite couple Mary and Julie, who's love for each other radiates from their individual personas . The festival itself has been superb with fantastic acts from opera to quartets to amazing singers. The organisers who have pulled out all the stops to arrange a flawless coordination of workshops and shows. Being the only straight in the village certainly hasn't left me feeling secluded. So thank you ladies it's been a ball.Weiterlesen
