Moving On

Yesterday we packed our bags and said goodbye to Placencia. It is a 4 block walk to the Hokey Pokey water taxi stand. We boarded a very full boat for the 11 minute $2.50 per person boat ride across the inlet to Independence.
There was a taxi to meet us and for another $2.50 we got a ride to the bus station. We then boarded a James Bus for the 2 hour scenic bus ride on the Southern Highway to Punta Gorda. The bus is an old American school bus painted green and yellow. The trip cost $4.50 per person. Hot and bumpy but we made it to PG after many stops to let folks on and off. If you stand on the road and flag the bus down they'll stop for you. The bus driver dropped us off at the front door of our hotel!
