    Just late with my comment...saw yesterday night "enquête exclusive " talking about how terrible and dangerous Belize is.
    Truth is that when you travel this beautiful country, meeting this beautiful people, multicultural, nothing is far away than what we are shown and told on TV.
    I know this country well, I love it. Glad to see you also did.

You were on a low level jetty looking for them! It’s a wonder you still have your limbs intact. Take heed for when you visit the northern parts of Australia! Cheers. 👍🏻🙏🦘

    It’s so good to see Belize through your eyes and to hear how friendly and welcoming the people are. Mostly I’ve seen Belize listed as a dangerous place to visit by European governments, but it just goes to show most people the world over are friendly and helpful. I think the Belize tourist office will be promoting your video 😊 I loved the way Nick build a few rocks in a small river to help your Defender to cross and also your tiny hideaway beach 🏝️

      @ellem9995 In the United States, students learn that there are seven continents:
      North America (which includes Central America and the Caribbean)
      South America
      Europe
      Asia (the most populous continent)
      Africa
      Australia
      Antarctica
      Going by that standard, continents make up the vast majority of land surface area on the planet, or about 57 million square miles (148 million square kilometers).
      But that's hardly the last word on the matter. For example, in Europe, students usually learn that there are actually only six continents: Africa, America, Antarctica, Asia, Australia/Oceania, and Europe. There's even a five-continent model, which lists Africa, Europe, Asia, America and Oceania/Australia. (That's why there are five rings on the Olympic flag.) And some experts think four is the way to go, using as their criteria landmasses naturally separated by water, rather than manmade canals (AfroEurasia, America, Antarctica and Australia).
