Just the information I was going to ask about.... Thanks Dan.. That price sounds pretty good, though a tad more from W.A. I guess.. I might go and check if there is a route via Africa for West Aussies..

And Big C, from Belize city airport to yours, whats involved?

[christopher]

Taxi to bus station, USD15. Bus to Punta Gorda, 5-6 hours, USD11, Graces Hotel, USD16. Coumbia Bus to San Pedro Columbia (M,W,F&S from Central Park at 12 noon), USD2. Guide to walk up to our place, USD5-10, dorey ride in traditional dugout canoe w/all yer stuffs, USD7.5-10.00. Then you are here! What a nice thought!
