Belize: Hopkins:

Spent a night there then came back for a couple more. Very quiet little village with two very, very bumpy roads that will rattle your teeth. Almost easier to walk. I was there in December and many places were closed, not sure why. People were nice. Local food was very good. A German couple have a restaurant that was nice but kinda weird food. Not sure I'd want to live there as it is really quiet. But a great place to visit and I'm looking forward to returning.

Belize: Solar and LED Lighting:

I'm cross posting, or copying my question, from another forum for, hopefully, more input. In the week I drove around Central and southern Belize I saw only a very few solar installations, one advertisement and absolutely no LED lighting. Anyone know more about why this is? I just completed an 80 unit project with ALL LED lighting, solar water heating and provisions for complete solar electrical generation in California. Seems odd a country with triple the power costs isn't doing all they can. My guess would be the govt. is in bed with the power companies and discourages or taxes and duties improvements out of reach?

Those ARE nice. Just got one from home.

Belize: real estate:

Was there twice last week and the road was just horrible. Glad to hear of the improvement!

Belize: Remodeling:

Curious about the difficulty of doing repairs and refurbishing a place in Belize. Seems like it would be easiest near the northern border with a Home Depot in Mexico. At least more so than down in Punta Gorda? Do they assess taxes or duties on materials and products brought back from Mexico? Thank you!

Belize: Corazol Car Rentals?:

Yes it does, resulting in every country but the one in question....

Belize: Vehicle repair:

Am wondering what vehicle brands are easiest to find parts and service?

Belize: Why the heck are car rentals so high???:

I have a reservation with Avis in BC next week. Any experience with them out there?
