Here we are on a beautiful morning in Tulum. We spent the night in a place called Rancho Tranquilo - a very nice place with little individual cabañas with a large bed and mosquito net. It has a large shared kitchen facility, couches, tables, and the largest book exchange I have ever seen in all my travels anywhere. A wall full of books available for exchange. Its totally wonderful. Mari and I awoke, are drinking coffee, and waiting for our complimentary pancakes for breakfast.
Today, we will be heading out of Tulum, out of Mexico, and into Belize. We are catching the 10 am bus from Tulum to Chetumal (180 pesos each), the border town between the two countries. From Chetumal we hope to catch a water taxi ($35 each) to Caye Caulker, a small key just north east of Belize City. As we have been told, Belize City is no where for anyone to be, and there are two keys that are spectacular, and Caye Calulker is the cheaper, backpackier of the two.
Belize (and Mexico) have the second largest reef in the world (after Australias Great Barrier Reef), and the snorkling and diving are supposedly spectacular. We hope to see what some of the fuss is about. Its exciting to finally be moving forward. After all this time, its hard to believe we are still in Mexico. Its time to take the next big step.
