San Ignacio itself is a very small town, so it didn't take long to explore on the first afternoon. We ate first, at a little place called Ko-Ox-Han-Nah. I skipped the burritos and burgers and opted for Belizean cuisine, of coconut rice, stewed beans and chicken. Delicious, but I couldn't finish my very large plateful! Then we took a walk around the town. There's a street of colourful shops, a market place, and the town square where there's live music at night. We crossed the bridge over the river, where sits the neighbouring town of Santa Elena. We took a walk through the riverside park, and saw some people swimming with horses! It's even hotter here, being inland without the sea breeze, so by evening it was much more pleasant. It was definitely time for a quiet night though, after our Caye Caulker partying!
Our guide gave us lunch as part of the tour, which was some delicious tortillas, before we headed back to town. I slept in the car back, then chilled in the hotel for a couple of hours, before going to dinner. We went to a place called Erva's, and as it was our last night in Belize, I stuck to the local cuisine, with chicken, rice and beans. The town square plays music at night sometimes, especially as it was the weekend, so we went for a look and a couple of beers, before heading to bed! Farewell San Ignacio!
