San Ignacio, Belize

So, on Nov 11th, I went from Caye Caulker to San Ignacio.  The water taxi from the island was noisy but fast, and the trip took about an hour.  Taxi from the terminal to the bus depot was bumpy and the way was twisty, no real through streets.  The bus was nearly full and ready to go when I got to the depot.  The ride took about 2 hours, with many stops, lots of folks getting on and off along the highway.  Most of the spots people were dropped off had shelters on one side of the highway, but rarely both.  The rain was intermitent, and at times quite heavy.  Cost for the bus ride was $8BZD, about $4 Canadian.  The rain has meant that access to some of the Mayan ruins is impossible because of the need to ford a river, but Cahal Pech is an archeological site at the highest point of the town.
