Chetumal, Mexico, 18/1-2007

Route: Merida - Chicken Itza - Tepic - Chetumal

I used some time this morning to send a package with my old helmet home to Norway. Since it have been so hot travelling in Mexico with my street bike helmet, I have decided to buy a cross helmet which is more ventilated. Sending the package was not simple or cheap, but now it is done.

I then left Merida and headed toward the Chicken Itza. This is also some famous Maya ruins, but again I was not extremely impressed. They were absolutely worth visiting, but still I was not that impressed. I spent some hours there walking around before I left to head for the border to Belize.

I spent the night in Chetumal which is a very charming town on the border of Belize. I had a walk in the town in the evening and changed the wristband of my watch. Chetumal is a relatively little town which is easy to get around in and it has a nice promenade with parks. The hotel I stayed at was alright, with secure parking for the bike.
