Arriving into Belize
Bought our tickets with little fuss
The five hour ride from heaven
In fact turned into seven
Many miles of condo/hotel resort
We witnessed from our chosen transport
We had hoped for beautiful views
Not this adding to someone's revenues
Finally arriving in Chetumal
Into the middle of this urban sprawl
A few miles on we reached the border
Which soon we had crossed, all was in order
Now we had a choice on how best to proceed
Fly, take another bus or hire a car, get to the first town we agreed
Too late that day for a flight
If that was our choice we would have to stay a night
Buses were not so good after Mexico
If this we chose, we would not be there until tomorrow
The taxi we used offered to take us to our destination
A fair price was quoted; we were on our way to our final location
The driver stated that we would get there in hours five
In fact it took somewhat longer than that to arrive
Time to travel in both Mexico and Belize
Is at a different pace, than that which we are led to believe

Post a CommentWonderful poem, but before you fuss,/Worse things have happened on a Mexican bus./ Some of them carry chickens and pigs./Well, best of luck in your brand-new digs.
I can't imagine being cramp up like that for so many hours! I wonder if the heat was bearable. I haven't been to Mexico in a few years, but the streets are insane in the pueblos. Can't wait to hear more.
So true.....when hubby and I went to the ruins at Tulum, I think we were on the bus to and from longer than we were actually at the ruins!
Once you're settled, tell us more! :)
Wow, cute! I liked it. Glad to see you made it! Traveling for hours on end can be draining...take care of yourself!
Nice! Glad you finally arrived! We've been missing you... :-)
Yup, time, as they say, is in the mind of the perceiver. Glad to hear you've made it thus far in one piece--keep us posted!
You can say that again! It's been years since I made that trip but I can see that the different concept of time has not changed.
What an adventure. Hope things get better and better.
Sounds fun.
