Progresso Shores, Belize

After rejuvenating in Chetumal we headed across the border into Belize, where we met our Couchsurfing host, Scott, in Corozal before heading to his beautiful property, Progresso Shores. From here we met some of his great friends, kayaked to the ruins of Cerros, took some bumpy rides and experienced old-school hand cranked ferries. We had an awesome time and are very grateful to have met Scott and his friends.

The Cerros ruins- these glyphs are plaster restorations of the originals.



These guys work 12 hour shifts to keep the ferry going 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. To cross is free and quite an experience.

About Us

We are an Australian couple who love to travel as much as we can. Our first backpacking adventure began in 2007 when we travelled through Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and southern China for 3 months before settling in Beijing for 6 months to teach English. Beijing proved a great base to earn enough money to continue travelling as Cameron managed to get to South Korea and Japan for 2 months, before we both went to Canada at the end of 2008. We then worked and travelled in Canada and the US for about 8 months before heading home to finish university. After graduating university, Cameron as a secondary English and Social Science teacher and Cassie as a human services worker, we worked for two years before heading off for our next adventure. This time, we left Australia on Christmas day 2012 and travelled through Europe for 4 months before heading for Central America. We initially intended to travel in Central America for 3 months but ended up staying for eleven. This trip has seen us travel through over 20 countries in 12 months and we are not intending to stop just yet!
