Road to Mexico



It's a stressful day all round starting with the bad news that one of the girls had her bag stolen from the reggae bar last night. The Belizean police on Caye Caluker were unhelpful telling her she needed to go to Belize City to make a statement. Worse still she wasn't insured.

We're crossing the border into Mexico today which means taking a water taxi back to Belize City and a chicken bus for three hours to the border. Again the music is so loud I can't hear my ipod. I'll be eternally grateful to never have to travel on a chicken bus again.

More bad news. When we take our bags off at the Belize/Mexico border another one of the girls' bags is missing and other bags have been opened and rifled through. There is nothing we can do but cross the border and take another bus for five hours to our destination, Playa del Carmen.
