Towards the end of May we will arrive in Cancun and intend to bus it down to belize.

It will be our first visit to Central America and I wondered if anyone could offer us advice on places to visit / stay?

NB: We're late 20's, like a drink, have 2 weeks and are on a very tight buget.

My initial plan was to bus directly to Belize City, spend a night here (is this worthwhile). Then head to CC for a few days (any cheap accomodation here?).
Next I was thinking of heading south to Placentia where I heard you can get a boat to Honduras. A few days on the coast here followed by an overland route back to Belize via a few Mayan ruins. (bit sketchy here)

Please advice - many thanks
