Hi to everyone. I hope you all are well. My guide book is from 2004 so i just wanted to ask a few things. Is it still only on fridays and from placencia that you can catch the boat to honduras (puerto cortes) If this has changed please tell me,I have plenty of time, just want to get the timing right. Also can i catch a direct bus from orange walk down to southern belize without having to stop in belize city. Also i want to visted one of the garfuna villages near punta gorda. Do you recommend and certain one. Maybe one of your favorites.
Thank you
Ben
