If you go to Caye Caulker,all the Europeans lay there basking in the sun,at the cut,sans bathing attire, no problem, maybe it's only Americans who have a problem with the naked human body??I don't really care, just don't gaulk!!

I don't think B.C.'s 2 is still serving. They may have gotten someone else to take over but not sure.

Island Supermarket is very expensive and make sure to check the sell by dates. It caters to people who really want food from the USA and can't live without it. There are other excellent supermarkets on the island that do basics for a much better price.

There are a number of wonderful places to eat coming up from the South. Sandbar (Fido's 2), Victoria House (ate a wonderful meal there this week), El Divino, Antojitos (local food), several Chinese takeaways, Ricos, George's Kitchen, Pedro's for pizza and many others along the way. You'll have no problem finding great food. Make sure to try the small local places, holes in the wall and vendors (there is a wonderful tamale vendor who cycles down south) who all do really great local food at good prices.

As for the topless situation, it is not considered acceptable. If you are discreet and sensible or able to guarantee your privacy, then go for it. We quite often have people skinny dipping in our pool at night despite the fact that every unit overlooks the lit up pool. Just remember that you are in a Belizean country, not an American one. Therefore it is the Belizean sensibilities you need to consider.

Interestingly, I have seen pictures of Maya women in Southern Belize in the 60's and all of them went topless (though not for tanning). I suspect the missionaries put paid to that.

Of course people would be concerned about women going topless........this is the paradox of people everywhere......
they would rather be concerned about the human body than over populating our planet (thank you Pope), throwing trash all over and poluting the island, overfishing and destroying the reef and natural resouces.......
in general, having the priorities completely out of wack.....yeah mankind, how stupid we are !

:rolleyes:

Nudity with makind has always been a problem since Adam & Eve put on fig leaves. If you don"t like the naked body don"t look.

Thanks for all your comments on everything I have asked about, I will be sensible to local feelings. I have travelled extensively but not to south America yet. I can't wait only three more days of work, then sun, sea, sand and snorkelling! yippeee

I beleive Belize is still in "Central America".

Hey Immising, it south of texas its all south america to me! LOL I am very much looking forward to this trip. Many years ago a british soldier I knew was stationed there and he talked about it in such lovely terms.

You'll love it !
