Matahual/Xcalak - 12th March - to date (FREE)

We are camping right on the beach in Matahual not far from Belize. Matahual is a bizarre place, a very laid back place with paradise like beaches and bright blue seas, has a hippy cummunity,chilled. Then the Cruise ships arrive Tues - Friday and then it becomes the touristy resort, madness for 8 hours and kicks into life, beaches packed, donkeys rides for $5! Get the picture.Then everyone leaves and it is empty again.... We are already seeming to know every one in town and they all know that the girls in the motor home are camping behind the lighthouse. A developer guy has given us permission to camp on his land and is very private and a view to die for. When we arrived it was the day of their carnival so there was procession and dancing. We have been making fire virtually every night apart from the time we visited the next town down Xcalak, nothing there, small local restaurants. Then a brilliant find, Little Palapa, which had the most fantastic international cuisine, run by 2 ladies from Canada. It was so good we stayed there right by the beach to go the following night but to our disappointment was shut when we arrived…d’oh! Today Adele goes on another scuba dive. It is going to be hard to tear ourselves away from here but  have had no electricity now for many days and the batteries are running down. We do have to go to Chetamul over the next few days so maybe can last until Sunday.
