Buses, Belmopan and Butterflies

2 down, 5 to go
We are now just short of the border with Guatemala and we have stayed in San Ignacio for one night and again no value for money. Its not easy for budget travellers to stay in Belize. Its a pity because I'm sure Belize has a lot to offer and maybe we ...

Happily giving thanks

Catching up from Palenque...
... the constant smell of body odor, poop or dead animals for 7 and a half hours. Then we found a nice place to crash here in San Ignacio, Belize. There's a lot of tourists here... A lot of Americans - ugh haha. So I gotta run. Rob wants to go out and play! ...
Day 12
