Day 78, Sep 18, 2013, 74km
The Border crossing at Chetumal into Belize is a breeze. On the Mexican side everything is close together and you go to the small building on the right to get your exit stamp, make sure to save your BBVA Bank payment paper that you did get when you paid for your entry stamp or they will charge you again, it’s stupid I know.
Then off to the left and get your VIN checked and get a receipt that you will get your import money back. We ask when and they say Manana, or maybe never, we will see.
On the Belize side again everything is close together, and if you don't want to backtrack first go to the shack on the right and pay the $4 to get your fumigation paper, then to the left there is a parking lot in front of the customs office and have them stamp your passport, just behind the customs guy is the import or declaration desk where the guy will stamp your passport for a temporary entry permit for your bike.
Head back to your bike and go through the checkpoint and then towards the big white building to get your insurance for $14.50 that is good for 1 week, now your set and you can enjoy the great roads of Belize (not).
Belize and the Caribbean sea.
Tomorrow we booked a tour of the Mayan temple Lamanai (Submerged Crocodile) dating back to 1500B.C and is still occupied today, should be interesting.
