This time I decided to rent a car , a 4 wheel drive stick shift, of course. Due to my hopeless sense of direction, we exit the airport on our second try and soon are on our way north to Corozal. After correcting this error, I immediately drive us into a residential area, where the streets are filled with students dressed in brightly colored uniforms.
School is out for the day.
While we are making these side excursions, Sue, a first time visitor who took on the map navigation job, is searching for street signs, trying to get our bearing on our somewhat hand-drawn map. We can't seem to get oriented, so now it's time for directions. I ask a gentleman on a bicycle if he could point us to Cemetery Road, which turns into the Western Highway , which will lead us to Cayo . About 35 minutes later we reach the Belize Zoo . It's a wonderful zoo that has large natural areas for the animals, which are all native to Belize.
