As soon as we arrived on Isla Bonita by ferry ( only half an hour ride on a speedy engine boat from Caye Calker, 10$) I took a 3 hours walk around the island to check out some places to camp. I couldn't find any suitable place for our tent as the beach was narrow and the golf cars were passing by. I asked at Sandbar hostel about any rooms available and as usual there were none. We were encouraged by the hostel's owner to free camp as all the beaches are public therefore free to be used. Following the advice we put up our tent by the beach near by the hostel and camped there until we've been told on the second night to clear out the beach of the tent. The island's inspectors whose been sent by the police came over and let us know about the Belizean law that on a public beaches we are not allowed to camp. We were ready to leave the following morning. The island is nice like a previous one even better because the amount of people is spread out and it feels quieter and more chilled than the little Caye Caulker. A nice coincidence was when we were having a delicious sea food dinner by a Hungry & Grupe restaurant, we saw passing by just in front of us our friends from Columbia and Argentina: Youlady and Ignacio. We met them in Mexico in Tolum a month ago and it was such a great surprise to see them again in Belize. Since then we hang out together for the evening and following day. I did snorkelling in the second largest coral reef in the world (after Australia) here in Belize in San Pedro. Mexicans are claiming as well that their reef is the second in the world. In fact it's not very far away from the truth as Belize and Mexico are sharing the same reef. However the one from the Mexican side has nothing to do with the one from Belize. I didn't have to do scuba diving to see such a wonderful corals with incredible variety of fish, such as barracuda, different type of snappers, sharks and sting rays including huge turtles. That was such an amazing experience in one go just in 2 and half hour tour (40$) I've managed to see impossible and only by snorkelling. As I've mentioned before after the inspector's kind warring we had to leave San Pedro the next day. However we had got a nice impression of the island, rasta men coming and sharing with us peace and love as we had got huge towel with Bob Marley's image. By traveling with tent we attract lots of attention. Locals come over to offer their drugs services or travelers come over to admire fact of choosing such a way of traveling while they are staying in the hotels or rented houses. We've got people passing by and doing interviews and filming. I do yoga by the beach and people would like to join in but we stay only for a short period of time therefore it wouldn't work. Whenever someone joins in, just practices with me. Everyone is welcomed. We met this American guy from New York who was in a golf car with his mixed race son and his Belizean girlfriend. He was offering us some Marihuana's cockies for 5$ each. He run a cleaning company of golf cars on the island and I suppose it's not enough money to survive so he is a drugs dealer...it was sad to see an American guy who was struggling to survive in Belize. It might look like an easy country to make money but apparently it is not. After couple of night we were forced to leave and it was also a time to do so. We took off to the main land of Belize - to Hopkins.
