Schasz Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 That the brand name for the beer sold in that country is "Belikin." I saw signs about Belikin beer as we made our one hour drive to the sight of our Xtreme Cave Tubing excursion. I did not drink any Belikin beers as I had consumed an elegant sufficiency of Dos Equis in Cozumel along with Tequilla Shooters on my snorkel and Carlos & Charlies trip in Mexico. Belize is about as 3rd world as I have seen in my lifetime. Not much to do but take in some of the things to do in the water/Caribbean. On our trip home last night our ship came to a sceaching halt and very quick turn. Then the captain came on the intercom to announce that they almost ran into a raft of people stranded in the Atlantic. Anyway, they sent one of the tendersout and pulled in 7 very weary Cubans who claimed to have been at sea for 5 days in a very makshift boat. We heard that INS took them off our cruise ship before we made land this morning in FT Lauderdale. I beleive that the procedure is for them to be sent back to Cuba where I am just sure that Fidel will be waiting with open arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quality Is Job 1 Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Are you serious? Wow, that's bizarre! Shipped back to Cuba? That's inhumane. I don't blame them for trying to get away. Can't they request asylum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schasz Posted November 30, 2003 Author Share Posted November 30, 2003 I'm pretty sure that our laws for dealing with illegal aliens stiffened in light of 911. I must say that what happened on that fateful day in our history to those 3,000+ people and their families was most definitely inhumane in my books. If that means that our borders are tighter than ever before then that's fine by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
