Creator's Key Takeaways

we have these tickets to take a ferry through the mainland when we got here we did not know you could go to the mainland we thought we were stuck in a private island

Pelican beer the beer made in Belize was so good and we found out that this is under the British flag

the locals have been so friendly though they will see you on the streets and say hello and I'm pretty sure they're relying on tourism
