Macaroni Hill to Placencia

Feb 06.
Even though we had headwinds, today's 87k ride from Macaroni Hill to Placencia was not as difficult as yesterday's.  The road appeared to be better, less truck traffic and very little incline. As we ride early in the morning we see children waving at us as they are heading off to school.
We rode by more orange groves, banana plantations, grapefruit and coconuts.
Placencia is on a narrow peninsula with water on either side as we ride.  We are at the most southern part of Belize and will spend two days here.
Some will find their way back to San Pedro to spend some extra time there.  Kerry, Isabel and Greg by boat, and Richard and Tanya by air. Roger, Rick, Peter, Barry and Tim have chartered a van that will take them directly to Playa del Carmen. Roger and Rick will spend a few more days in Puerto Adventura while Barry, Peter and Tim will fly home.
It has been a great adventure!  Hard to believe it's almost over.  No major issues or breakdowns and fabulous weather.
Hmmm, wonder where the next bike trip will be?
