 Some of the many fruits and
vegetables for sale by Bwana_Brown
We were looking for fruit at the market and were able to buy a pineapple on both visits (US$1.25 each) that we later had for breakfasts. Although there were quite a few on display, it was a bit of a job to find one that was ripe (by pulling on the green shoots at the top to see if one would come free easily). Four fresh limes (US$0.50) also made for some nice flavours to go with a bottle of local "1 Barrell" Old Rum (US$6.75) that we bought from a Chinese store in town.
By this stage of our trip, we had both finished reading our books so we browsed in a small second-hand book shop in San Ignacio. The lady running the place was helpful, and we managed to find two excellent books that we both really enjoyed - they even lasted until we were home again! One final important aspect of shopping here was the banks. Although there are 3 banks in town, only two have ATM machines and one of these was broken on our second day in town. I did not like to have too much cash on me at any one time, so I had to stock up before we went into Guatemala for our Tikal trip and again the day before we left for Belize City at the end of our time in Belize.

 Truck parked in front of
Supermarket entrance by Bwana_Brown
More than once, to help deal with the tropical sunshine beaming down, we simply grabbed chocolate covered ice-cream cones and even iced vodka drinks once. However, since we were at the Trek Stop for a week, and had a common kitchen at our disposal, we also lugged back large jugs of water, drinking cups for our cabana, clothes pegs, granola bars and yoghurts for breakfast, boxes of Mango or Strawberry/banana fruit drinks and Pringle chips. It was a typical supermarket with a wide range of goods at reasonable prices and we really appreciated having it so close at hand. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: 11 km west of San Ignacio, on the main Western highway to Guatemala, at the eastern edge of the small village of San Jose Succotz.
