Traveling by Bus

We are on a 4 hour bus ride to Chetumal, the state capital of Quintana Roo (a state of Mexico) and the most southern main town. From what we hear Chetumal is pretty much just a place to stopover en route to Belize. On the bus with us is the Australian and English guys we meet last night. Between the four of us we hope to figure out how to correctly and safely cross our first country boarders. We also learned from pervious travelers to always take a official buses across the boarders instead of taxis. One couple we meet in [[Mexico/Playa-del-Carmen]] said they took a taxi from Nicaragua to Guatemala: the police stopped the taxi and took most their money on hand. Though we never planned on taking a taxi or crossing boarders at night. Anyhow we are excited for our first boarder crossing and a new country, Belize.
