Crossin' to Corozal
Blog: Joe's Trippin' - 26 June 2010
Border towns suck. While clearly there are gleaming examples indicting the opposite, in general, in my observations of nearly 2 decades on the road and 100+ countries later, border towns suck. So recently while crossing from the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula, i was expecting much of the Belizean town just across the border.

We’re Belize-ing It – Corozal, Belize
Blog: Trans-Americas Journey - 15 June 2010
Crossing borders is always an exercise in change. That’s why we do it. What struck us most when we crossed over the border from Mexico into Belize was the heat.

Breezing over the Border – Belize, Central America

Here's how folks on Corozal celebrate the night before Christmas: Explosives. They began rocking my hotel a minute or so before midnight. Quarter-sticks of dynamite, sporadic gunfire, whizzing Mexican bottle rockets.

Belize Day Three: On the Wings of a Dove
Blog: Snarky Tofu - 26 November 2009
The Thunderbolt from Corozal to San Pedro is a good deal @ US$25, but at US$40 Maya Air's 20 minute flight is a better deal for the time constrained and speedboat averse.
