I love flowers; that is why the Ruta de Las Flores (Route of Flowers) in El Salvador appealed to me. But I didn’t see that many flowers along the route but it is a beautiful string of villages in amazing volcanic surroundings.

San Ignacio & ATM cave
I arrived in San Ignacio, Cayo District of Belize by bus from Flores, Guatemala. I have to admit I had a culture shock.
