Corozal - Belize

Hey people!
Right now I am sitting in an internet cafe in Coruzal in Belize, its 7pm ,and there is no AC here and its way to warm! We got up early this morning and left from a hostel in Tulum, and we tok a bus to a town in the south of mexico called Chetumal. Where i went to get out some money from the atm, Once i got the bank the sirens where going off, and there was 7-8 armed police officers standing outside the Bank, and as i left a fire engine arrived. What happend there i will prob never know, but it sure seemed suspicious! Once we got to the bus station we got picked up by another bus, wich would have been in a very bad standard had it been used for Russefeiring, it was bright blue, and it read Neptune busses along the side. It was then very clear to us that Belize would be a very differnt country. Once we crossed the borders we had to go through customs, and the officer asked us if we had any tobacoo or alochol with us, we told him we had 10 cigars from cuba with us. He went quite and told us we could go, it seemed that they where ment to be taxed, but that the officer just couldent be bothered!
Once we got into the Town of Corozal it was easy to see how hoplesly laid back everyone is, everyone is riding around on old bikes at a very slow place. It seems like Belize comatozed itself, but people here are very friendly, and they all speak english, although the dialect is abit different comunication is not a problem :)

Tomorrow moring at 7 we are getting a spead boat that does 50mp/h and going San Pedro which is a little island close to Caya Caulker which is our final destination for the day, and also for a couple of days. Its said to be one of the most laidback places on earth, Shop ovners close their shops if they feel they made enough money for the day, there is no cars either. The island is only 4-5 miles long and a mile wide. So getting around wont be much of a problem :) The food in belize seems to be good, and so do the people. So ill leave you guys with a local quote and i hope you are enjoying the spring around the world.

Hello there! I miss you guys too! I'd much rather be robbing a bank than sat here trying to revise for exams!

I'd make a great accomplice because I'm so small....
