Home » Honduras Belize » Central America (part II)

My Dear Readers,<br /><br />I left Mexico eventually. I rode my bike from Playa Del Carmel to Tulum and looked for good places to camp and snorkel. Some places have pretty a nice reef, but there are so many people there. That place, about which I wrote to you before, behind the Oscar Y Lalo Restaurant is the best. I snorkeled there in the reef completely alone. Well not completely, it was one woman there also, which for some reason prefer to swim, dressed only in fins and mask.

new things. It is in my genes. I read about it in a scientific article. Such people are called novice seekers. They have a tail of one specific chromosome (I forget which one) longer than normal people. So I cannot do anything with this. I took six dives and tomorrow I am leaving Utila. While snorkeling on my own I caught very big langustino (lobster). I will sent picture later. It is amazing but in all Latin America, they do not know how to prepare lobsters. They grill them. Lobster should be boiled.

PS: I forgot to tell you that Belize is a very English influenced country. They respect tea very much, unlike their Latino neighbors. The best tea in my life I drank in Belize. It is called Lychee tea and manufacture by Dilmah tea company from Ceylon. I never saw it in America.

Attachment the letter from my reader Harold Smith.

Dear Mr. Alex Mumzhui:

I would like to thank you for all the wonderful Travel Notes you wrote for your readers over the past few years, and to express my sincere hope that the unexpected health challenge you encountered in September 2002 has been fully and decisively expunged.

I discovered your Notes about a year ago and have been reading them from the USA Brompton cycle distributor's site and then later from the more complete master site at http://www.poxod.com/hotline/bike.htm

The Notes were a tremendously good read and provided me with a huge amount of vicarious enjoyment as I belatedly followed you on your adventures around the globe - you with your trusty red Brompton and small backpack, and me at my computer (and with my own new Brompton and assorted LP guides waiting restlessly in the next room).

You certainly know how to write engaging tales - they reflect your obvious ability to relish life to the fullest and share that enjoyment with the people around you, both those on-site and by correspondence.

I deliberately spread the reading of them out over several weeks so that I would have something to look forward to after a hard day's work. It was good.

I sincerely hope you have now been returned to good health and full function, and that you are planning additional expeditions.

Unless I am very mistaken, you have many many readers who are anticipating sharing your next adventure; I certainly am one.

We look forward to your next Travel Notes, or at least some "news from Alex" to bring us up to date.

Yours truly,

Harold Smith, Canada
