Subject: Post: The bus trip to Chetumal took a bit over five hours, but that wasn't too bad as the Mexican buses are really nice, surpassing Finnish long-distance buses in comfortability. Spacious seats, air conditioning and half-way restaurant break made the trip go pretty fast.After arriving to Chetumal we took a taxi to the main pier and bought tickets to Belize water taxi. 600hp speedboat crossed the sea from Chetumal to Ambergris Caye in Belize in about one and half hours, and after completing Belize's nominal border formalities the boat continued to the smaller island nearby, Caye Caulker.Caye Caulker was our destination, and it is just as cool as we thought it would be. A surreal paradise island, Caribbean Sea always a couple of meters from us. First night we slept in a randomly selected hotel, and now just moved into Yuma's House hostel which will be our residence on this island for a couple of days. Now to the sea, and later in the afternoon we should go snorkeling a bit with sharks and rays. :)By the way, there are basically no motorized vehicles on the island, and there are only three unpaved roads. Even the local police uses a golf cart. Not that there probably would be anything for a police to do.. :) Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
