After moving on the boat, we had to eat at a local restaurant and buy drinks from the local Mooring Office! So, it's time for provisioning! With an empty boat and refrigerator/freezer, our list seemed to be a mile long. Belize also is a little expensive, so we had to be selective in our buying! We took a taxi into town, which is about 4 miles away. Actually, they call it a village, as it is pretty small. We ate lunch and then went to a place call the Chinese Market. We loaded up three shopping carts and then called our favorite taxi to come pick us up! It was $400 BZ, which is about $200 US, so it wasn't too bad. When you pay cash it seems like it is more than when you just swipe your debit card! A quick stop at a produce market, and we were back at the boat! A $40 BZ round trip taxi ride helped a lot, as an 8 mile roundtrip bike ride, in this heat, would have been a killer, let alone thaw out our chicken!!!
