At our last stop in Belize we met an American chap who was amused to listen to Fiona´s positive reviews of all the places we have visited. He exclaimed “Oh come on! There must be somewhere you didn´t like!”, so in response here is a list of the worst places we have visted:

• The Mexican/Guatemalan border near Tapachula - rather like a James Bond arms bazaar.
• Lake Yojoa, Honduras - not all it´s cracked up to be. Impossible to explore without a vehicle. D&D´s gave us D&V.
• San Pedro Sula, Honduras - a big horrible city.
• Palenque (the town, not ruins), Mexico - a small town with no redeeming features.
• Santa Elaena, Guatemala - A terrible place. Kids threw soil at us. Little sh*ts.
• Puerto Cortes, Honduras - nothing to detain the tourist and unreliable/unsafe boat services to Belize (Puerto Barrios/Livingston is a much better route). It´s only redeeming feature is a cinema.

Curiously there was nowhere in Belize we didn´t like. It´s a lovely country. We didn´t spend any time in Belize City, but from the bus it didn´t look too bad at all.
