Livingston


Livingston is a two hour boat journey down the Rio Dulce where the river meets the Caribbean. Livingston is a Garifuna village which are people descended from slaves deported from islands as the British and Spanish fought over the Caribbean.



The journey is very beautiful and pictures do not show the beauty of the trip.




Birds are all over the place.




I would like to live in this house!





Lilies in the river.















Livingston has a buzzy but lazy feel. We ate lunch in a restaurant overlooking the harbour where we watched the supplies being unloaded. All supplies have to come in by boat.




It was a bit of a cliche lunch, listening to Bob Marley and eating fish stew.
The beach at Livingston is not much to write home about.
