So our first bus journey in Belize was on an old American school bus, this is the norm and it cost very little for a 4hr journey to San Ignacio. Belize has a population of over 300,000 and is about the size of Wales, so traveling about is pretty easy. The main attractions in San Ignacio are the caves, there are a few to choose from and we chose a full day trip to the ATM cave. It's an amazing cave and the guide showed us various limestone formations and some of...

A 4 hour bus to Chetumal and a 2 hour boat took us into Belize which has to be one of the easiest crossings we've ever done. On the pier in Chetumal we got our passport stamped and paid 16Pasos (less tha a pound) departure tax, in the guide book it said it would be over 200Pasos, so that was good.

We were just about to go through the turn style when we realised we hadn't got a ...

There was one thing we forgot to mention about getting into the United States. When we got to the Jetstar check in desk the lady told us we couldn't fly without proof that we were going to leave. I told her that our parents would kill us if we stayed, and we had a flight booked in Mexico. "No no no, you must leave America but not to a neighbouring country." So we said "We are travelling to Belize". "Where's Tobelize?" She mumbled. ...
