1 Just before leaving Mexico it turned
out that its not so easy...They has such a mess on the border crossing. The
border crossing is situated maybe 20km
from the biggest town in the region – Chetumal. We had to pay some money (about
10-15 euro if I remember well) to leave the country – all the people have – it
is kinda fee if you are leaving country by land (if you leave by a plane in
most cases this fee is included in ticket’s price). By the border guardian
wanted us to come back to Chetumal and pay this money there, in the bank, cause
they don’t have opportunity to take the money in the border crossing...We knew
that coming back to Chetumal, looking for a bank and coming back again to the
border crossing will lasts hours, and we didn’t have too much time... I had to
be very diplomatic. After few conversations, they finally “showed a mercy” a
let us to pay the money to leave country there, not in the bank ;). Then we
stopped one car which gave us a lift to the nearest bigger town from the
Belizean side – Orange Walk...as you can see from the town’s name Belize is a
bit different country and different language and area are not even the biggest
differences between Mexico and Belize...
