First bike ride

A random house we saw just outside of Belize City, apparently they like bikes!
Yesterday was my first day bike riding and it was 55 miles. We road from Orange Walk to Belize City to get the water taxi to Caye Caulker. It was flat and fairly cool because it was somewhat cloudy and sprinkling at times. Physically the bike ride was fine, but my butt hurt really bad and my palms went numb from leaning on the handle bars. Once I get used to those things I'll be fine. We left just before 7 and arrived just after 2. We took quite a few breaks and there was a lot of stopping because my bike seat kept moving. It would tilt up and down. And it was really annoying because we probably stopped at least 5 times to deal with the seat.

We were able to get on a boat to Caye Caulker with 15 minutes of arriving in Belize City. (We got to bring our bikes on for free.) And today we shall snorkel, go beach walking and perhaps kayak. And tommorrow we will dive in the blue hole.
