Escaping the storm into Belize!

From the stormy coast of Mexico we decided to 'flee' into the rainforest and jungles of Belize with Alica and Matt.

After reading about the Mexican exit fee scam when crossing land border into Belize we've spent the morning reseaching various travel forums to find out if we have to pay or not.

Unfortunately the lady in the booth at immigration was absolutely not impressed and called her supervisor who sent us to Belize saying if we wouldn't pay he wouldn't give us an exit stamp into our passport. But we could try to get into Belize without....another10 minutes later at the belizean border we were sent back to Mexico...
