Ideas for things to do
- definite: Meet Ms. Marie Sharp and do the factory tour (M-F only). Some info here.
- Possibly do this as a day trip to Dangriga to meet Ms. Marie Sharp.
- maybe: Stay in Hopkins for 3-4 days to dive. An experienced diver friend told us that many areas are overfished, so dive only in marine reserve areas.
- hamanasi is a few houses down from our airbnb and offers dive packages.
- maybe: Stay in the forest area for a few days and see Actun Tunichil Muknal. Mika asked Pacz Tour how much it costs and if they are available on Feb 10.
- maybe: Stay in Belmopan, the smallest capital city in the americas, as a gateway to ruins.
- maybe: Stay in Belize City on the last day to see the city.
