From Belize to Mexico

At 09 exactly sailing Captain Bock from the island in the direction of Dangriga inside the mainland. A return ticket costs from 30 to 35 Belize dollars per man. We need all the way to Mexico today. The first route is to Belize City and takes four hours, after which we must change buses and continue to Chetumal, the Mexican border town. The trip also takes 4 hours. Local buses are cheap but very warm - unfortunately stops they also quite frequently. There is a certain stop. No, people are scattered along the side of the road. They make not collected. So often stop the bus with only 50 meters apart - so who transport his time:) Total transport cost per person was 25 Belize dollars. In radio, in restaurants and bars is the music undoubtedly always reggae in Belize. As the bus approaches Mexico change peoples appearance, language and music as well. Finally talked all the bus only Spanish, although we were still in Belize. The music also changed from reggae to Mexican tones, although the bus driver was still the same:) The border crossing is quick and easy. There is not much traffic. We were actually the only ones. It costs 19 USD per person to leave Belize. Chetumal in Mexico is a good location to stay overnight, so you do not have transportation in the evening. The city is cheap and rich in both hotels and restaurants. Menu del Dia, which is todays court costs only 50 pesos. It is often the starter, main course, dessert and beverages. Yes, it can not be cheaper a lot of other places. A hot dog on the street costs only 10 pesos. Internet costs only 10 pesos for 1 hour. Mexico is cheaper than Belize, it can be clearly labeled. People in Belize joker that it costs more to be in a country where people speak English. The "service" costs extra. Our Lonely Planet Central America on a Shoestring, does not cover Chetumal. Therefore, we asked a taxi driver about a good place. He took us to a good, inexpensive hotel in the center - only 250 pesos. So it might pay to ask the locals.
