Angela’s home in Belize city was a 20 min walk to the BTE park, and there are several small shops and a couple bigger grocery stores very nearby. But you would want to take a taxi anywhere else. Taxis to most places in Belize city will be $7-10 USD. There isn’t much to do in the area but we did go to the museum. Entrance was $10 BZ and we learned a lot and enjoyed an hour and a half in air conditioning. Angela arranged our taxi to take us to the bus depot/ water taxi station, but if you’re out and about they’re easy to catch- just look for the green license plate. Angelas was a great first night in Belize City to get acquainted with the flow of things before moving onto the next leg of our journey.
