Almost there! Guatemala and Belize!

It is always when things come harder that one can find the best alternative to it. We tried everything to cross from Honduras directly to Belize thinking we would have to pay at the border with Guatemala. We got there in no times, hitchhiking is so easy in Honduras…and actually in all central america. At the border, we meet this once and friendly customs officer. He listen to our story interested and simply accept to give us an exemption for the tourist tax. If all customs officers were like him, traveling without money would much easier! Quickly we find another ride and we get to the closest town, Puerto Barrios. This town is quiet…the atmosphere is strangely different from Honduras…It feels like the place is more alive. We ask a restaurant the permission to use their kitchen to cook some food people had offered us and we have an excellent lunch. Then we head towards the harbor and try to find a way to cross. We need to come back in the morning to talk to the owner of " el Chato". We go to the fire station…our routine…and we obtain a great room with four beds…luxury before a very important day. When we get to Belize we know for sure that we will be on time for the climate change summit!
