... the girls trusting me not to screw up. He finally showed up and we were cleared from the compound. Next. Insurance. TG the insurance company is open till 9 pm. Insurance procured and we were finally cleared and legal in Belize with TWO registered mares. A long 2 & 1/2 hours later and we were at Cheers Final mileage from the time we picked up the rental in Dallas to the time we arrived at Cheers: 5342.3 miles That's enough for a while.

... had hotter in Thailand." before popping the whole thing in his mouth. Within seconds, he was redder than Santa Claus. He looked at me with a look of desperation, but couldn't speak. So how was I to know he needed water? I looked back at him and waited patiently until he could articulate. But he couldn't speak. In fact, he looked like he was going to die. So he just grabbed my water, and necked it without asking. Very rude, but he's a mate, so I ...

... few drinks with them and the staff, and the rest of the evening passed blissfully away in an alcoholic haze.  I woke up the next morning, not exactly on top form, and staggered over to the bathroom for a shower.  The bathroom was locked.  I looked over at Tom; he was in bed.  So who the hell was in the bathroom? It turns out that you should never close a door in Belize, unless you have the key.  The janitor was very understanding.  It happens a lot. In the day, we wnt on Lance ...

... And had completely slipped our minds News update. So Central America has experienced extreme rain the past few weeks and the rainy season is just coming to an end, how much rain you ask? apparently so much rain that the Belize Guatemala boarder crossing had been temporarily shut down because the bridge had been flooded, As well the hostel my friend recommended me to check out in orange walk that's on the river with a great view apparently has been flooded out.

... sabeís, me gusta madrugar; lo segundo, que por aquí amanece a las 5 y a las 7 de la tarde ya es de noche; y lo tercero, es que no me había enterado que en Belice hay que atrasar una hora respecto a México. Lo del cambio de hora me enteré más tarde cuando fui a coger el bus para ir a Belice City y de ahí a Flores (Guatemala). Llegué yo a las 9h con el tiempo justo, cuando me dicen que queda una hora para que salga. Así que ya estaba yo maldiciendo y pensando "habrá que dejarles, que es ...

... away so that they could build a street and she was able to name it. She called it Lovers Lane. From here we walked to the river and where shown the remains of one of the two British forts from the 19th Century. On arrival at the river we got on the boat for a 32 mile trip to the ruins, about one to one and a half hours away. On the way we stopped to see various birds, turtles, bromeliads and one of the sugar factories. On arrival at the lagoon we were ...

... This is a direct dig at our Rough Guide Italy from two years ago that did not believe in naming the streets on its maps and gave us the most peculiar and usually bad advice.) Our room in the Hokol Kin Guesthouse was quite reasonably priced and right across the street from the sea. We went out to dinner at one of the many Chinese restaurants, the only places open. It was supposed to be the classiest one, and the food was, in fact, delicious. Our waitress ...

... where they carry a pigs head around the town. Monday is a public holiday. Karaoke is huge here. There are lots of people from Asia living here. The bicycle and car is the vehicle of choice. I saw pigs feet and butt bacon?? for sale. We ate from a local woman a massive plate of rice, beans, chicken, potatoes and sauce for US$3 between us. The hostel was loud at nite as there were televisions in every room an ours was in the ...

... hand and started pulling me to the bus that we need to be on. We got on the bus and off we were. When I went to pay for my bus fare (about 20 minutes into the ride), I immediately realized that my wallet was gone and no where to be found. ****! It was totally those little kids at the bus terminal. I had always thought I would notice immediately if it was gone or that I would feel the bump that they do to distract you. But I felt absolutely nothing. I have ...

This morning we got up early to catch the Venus Bus to Orange Walk. Luckily they were parked just a few blocks from our hotel so we just walked over to the Texaco by the BelChina Bridge (named because the Chinese helped them build it, there is also a Belcan Bridge the Canadian gov't helped build). The bus was airconditioned which was a bonus ...
