'You going to DRIVE to Placentia? But it's so far - it be

horrible.' This is what my friends when I them I wanted

to to Placentia by car.

The Belizeans taking planes. Domestic flights reliable

and cheap and there lots of them. So people it a little strange that I wanted to hire a car and drive, what is only a few

miles to the coastal town of Placentia. Besides, the road a

"fair-weather" road, and it the rainy season.

But the journey horrible at all. The roads in good

condition, there not much mud for part of the way and regular

petrol stations (where petrol less than water). There even a roadside self-service restaurant between Dangriga and Placentia.

I out of Belmopan, and its mixture of new, but already old-looking buildings and old, poor housing, on a mountainous

highway. At first, the scenery Caribbean: bananas, small

villages, coconut trees. When you Belize, orange trees mix with sugar-cane. A little further on, past the zoo, the country

changes into the mangrove, or coastal region. This real cowboy country, with large isolated farms and occasional roadside

stops where you buy something to eat.

Everyone that the views when you near Placentia the

best, so it's a good idea to the night in Dangriga and the remaining few kilometres in the morning. An hour or so out of

Dangriga and the Mangroves to appear suddenly around the corner.

To your left is the Caribbean Sea, and to your right the cold,

windy mountain range with the rain forest. Although there lots

of trees in these mountains, there also lots of plants and

flowers. It is rain forest, so you that the air is getting more and more humid. After a strong cup of good coffee at the next village, my heart seemed to beat much faster than usual.

Then the road started getting muddy. My car didn't the mud

and slowed down. I didn't - this me time to look at the mountains.

The scenery on the way down into Placentia spectacular.

Most of it lush, thick and green with its small, stilt villages and

some coastal with its rivers full of fish, and inviting hotels.

Placentia itself a pleasant holiday town. It three claims to fame: the fishing, the beaches - and the diving out on the coral

reef. But this why I had come.

There are usually about five hundred participants in Paris-Dakar Rally. They

to Ghardaia (656 km) well-surfaced and wide in some places. In January,

the rally takes place, there is often some in the mountain passes, but

not enough to experienced drivers. From Ghardaia to the oasis town

Tamanrasset, 1361 km further south, the road is recognisably a road, but in

many places the sand covers the surface. Teams of men work

throughout the year to clear the sand away, the Sahara quickly covers their work.

Thirty south of Tamanrasset the surfaced road ends, and there on to

Agadéz in Niger, 704 km the south, there are beacon markers every ten

Participants usually find that can still go quite fast, however, if they

safely and confidently. They know conditions get worse . One of the rally

stages takes place in Ténéré, a vast, empty area of rocky desert size

of Spain. As the tracks are not marked and the landscape is very monotonous,

it easy to get lost.

The rally passes some very poor countries. The Sahara desert is fast

every year and some regions suffer from drought. In general, the native

people welcome the , because it brings business once a year. Even
