Beach lovers;
Weekend in Hopkins: Hopkins is a Garifuna fishing village originally called Ougadudoo, change to Hopkins in 2000 and is quickly becoming a tourist spot. First placed I stayed when traveling Belize, I met Trish and stayed at her unique hometel have been friends with her ever since. . Hanging out in Hopkins at with Trish at Kismet offers a personal first hand look at the everyday Belizean experience and into the local DRAMA. Trish knows everybody and everyone knows her, Kismet is built on the beach, and is fairly private as long as the locals are not strolling by. Trish makes hot breads and tea every morning and cooks a dinner at night. Hanging out with Trish is a blast and going the cayes with her is an experience to remember. Best time to go to Hopkins is in the beginning of the trip -from the Airport to Punta Gorda. We stay there a couple of days, then catch transportation on to PGEstimated cost ; 25.00us a night taxi-about 20 us each way to get to kismet. Cost: 130.00 US
