During our trip I was able to experience a variety of types of transportation, each of which provided some interesting experiences. One thing to note is the road system in general. There are very few roads between locations. The best road is from San Pedro where the airport is located to Puerto Cortez where the docks are located. This is basically due to Chiquita and Dole wanting to make sure their products get to the ports! All roads pretty much radiate out of San Pedro so that in order to get from one town to another you have to go back to San Pedro and start out again in a different direction. Therefore we took one bus ride 3 hours out to Copan, then 3 hours back. Then we took a cab 1 ½ hours out of San Pedro in a different direction to get to the lake where we were meeting Aaron. We then had to return to San Pedro and take a bus down to the coast. Upon returning from Belize we wanted to visit another coastal town but you can’t get from one to the other so we had to take a bus back into San Pedro and then another bus out again to the town of Tela on the coast. All in all we were in San Pedro 5 different times and only spend one night there before flying out. All other times, we were there about an hour while arranging different transportation to the next location.
