🖤🖤🖤

The time in Guatemala and Belize was overshadowed by news from Germany, a bereavement in the family. We were happy that Sandra and Max stood by us ❤️ (Thank you for the many conversations and advice, for just being there and grieving)

We struggled with grief and the question of what to do: fly home or continue the journey. It felt somehow wrong to just carry on, "having fun", experiencing something, chilling on the beach, knowing the situation at home. We wanted to be there for our family and spend Christmas with them. This was also the reason not to continue writing on the travel blog. It didn't feel right. We looked for options to return to Germany.

In constant contact with Germany and several emotional lows, we came to the decision to continue traveling. Our family in particular encouraged us to continue the trip. A very emotional message from my aunt finally made me decide to stay.

But even after the decision, doubts continued to arise as to whether it was the right decision!? 😢

We were at home in our thoughts 🖤 and said goodbye in our own way in Caye Caulker and drank a Baileys Coladas by the sea 🫶🏽RIP Charly🫶🏽
