In every country I've visited, the taxi system is great, and most of the taxi drivers are great too. Belize is no exception. All I have to do is stand at (or near) the side of the road and within minutes a taxi will appear and give a little honk. If I turn and nod, he will stop and even if there are other fares, I will get in. This guy was a great character in San Ignacio who squeezed a couple of people over so that I didn't have to walk up the steep hill to my hotel. The car may not have been in great condition - cracked windshield, no springs in the seat; but the service was great and the price was like $1.50 plus a nice tip because he let me take his picture.
