Our visit to chetumal really illustrated how poor a country Belize is in comparison with Mexi
We took a 4 hour bus ride from Belize city over a single track road (in each direction) to get to the border; we then saw a flyover and a highway with 3 lanes in each direction.
We went to a shopping mall with a department store (called Liverpool!) an 8 screen cinema, a very large supermarket, and many classy shops; all these are non existent in Belize city.
We went to the cinema to see ' the taking of Pelham123' which we really enjoyed, we looked at an an excellent Mayan Museum (see picture), we did some shopping, it was a good weekend.
The weather back in Belize is getting cooler; the maximum is now 85 rather than 90 and it is surprising the difference that makes! It really does feel cooler! When we were over at Caye Caulker last weekend it rained and the light was so different as a result that I took the picture attached.
