Ladies Trip to Belize

Well it's been well over 3 years since I wrote on this blog! I've taken many trips ever since. I actually forgot my travel journal and started taking notes on my iPhone and then I though well jeez I could open up that blog again....

So here we are it's 2016 and I came to Belize with my college besties!

Yesterday we took a water taxi ($35 round trip each) from Belize City to San Pedro.

Our real full day started today with breakfast at Estels next to the beach, it was wonderful and we got to try the fry jacks! Which are a belizean must try! They were yummy! Basically like a fry bread that taste more like a thick elephant ear with no sugar (we added butter and mermelada and voila!)
Then we rented a golf cart for 35 belizean dollars an hour ($1 US dollar = 2 Belize dollars). We took a short little tour around San Pedro and stopped at a restaurant to have some drinks.
After that our day adventure began- Hol Chan Shark Ray Alley! We took a boat out with 3 Aussie boys Ryan (Ron), Ben and another dude whom I forgot his name but he was nicknamed "easy" by our tour guide. We got to swim in the largest live barrier reef on the Western Hemisphere and it was wonderful! We saw turtles, fishes, sharks and rays! After our trip we came back to our stay and had dinner at the Palapa Bar- I highly recommend! ( definitely lived up to it's Instagram-hype) I got the lobster quesadilla with a homemade tortilla and my table neighbor Kina had shrimp tacos which were even better! We ended the night up on the hammocks and then Kina and I continued the night playing dice with some other people in our hostel (Hostel La Vista) and then took a dip in the ocean. I'm pretty tired now because I literally swam for 2+ hours, so that's our day in short. Goodnight world, tomorrow is another day.

P.S. Maybe tomorrow this blogger-thing will let me upload pictures (it's a struggle from my phone).

Corazón contento en Bali

" Pictures are a one way ticket to a memory..." - unknown Well I haven't blogged in some days now ( I don't plan on blogging every single day... some of you asked ) A lot has happened and my heart has been racing with excitement every single day. I am In love with the Islands of Indonesia, and I hope that you all can experience it some day. It's true that pictures are worth a thousand words, so here are some pictures and small captions. It's Tuesday on my side of the world, and my week in Indonesia is almost over. Every single time I go to a beach and go horseback riding I ask if I can take the horses into the water, thus far different state and country rules of places I have been to don't allow it. In the Gilli Islands horseback riding in the ocean is possible. I have  always wanted to ride in the ocean! My horse was swimming, I was swimming and the wind that hit my face whispered words of freedom. Goal number #35 - check! 

¡Ya llegué!

This is where I am staying, Karana Residence. I finally made it to Bali, Indonesia ! Goodness. So many emociones. I left Oregon on Tuesday... and arrived today Thursday at 2:40pm Bali time. Woah. My first flight from Portland was to Canada ( 1.5 hour flight), then Canada to Singapore (13 hour flight), then Singapore to Manila (3.5 hours ) and finally Manila to Bali ( 3 hours) + about 9 hours at airport transfers... phew!!!  As soon as I arrived at the Bali airport I took out some rupiahs from the ATM and headed out to find a taxi. My "taxi" ended up being some random guy who wasn't a taxi and got lost trying to find Karana... sigh. Wasted 1 whole hour, I mapped it out beforehand and  it was supposed to be a 6 minute drive from airport (eye roll) The roads in Bali are like a labyrinth and everyone is on scooters. Once I got settled I threw my stuff in my room and headed to the beach.  I got to see the sunset and after all those flights and lost drive

First Stop - Korea

I made it to Korea!!! it was a very longgggggggggg plane ride (11hrs) and the last hour I started to feel sick, but I was able to take care of myself and now I am feeling my healthy self again! The plane ride was an experience in itself. First off it was the biggest plane I've ever flown in with 8 seats of width!!! and 12 flight attendants (yes, I counted). I thought it was very nice that  all the passengers got their own pair of slippers ^_^. Another thing I had never seen was that we all got hot wet towels handed to us from baskets with tongs which people seemed to use to either clean their hands or wipe their face, I choose to clean my hands. Lastly I got to enjoy some "Bibimbap" which is a famous Korean cuisine composed of steamed rice, minced beef and other veggies! xoxo, Yesi P.S Kudos to Asiana Airlines they collected money for UNICEF!!!!! what a great way to give back, and what a great idea to collect loose currency, a money little adds up!!!
