On a map, how do you tell the difference between two countries? Well, easy: countries usually have outlines. These outlines can be thought of like an invisible line, a fence maybe that on one side it's one country and on the other, it's the other. In the practical world it's not like that. That outline on a map exists as a few hundred yard long area on the road.
The border crossing.
In our case, the first time through, we left Guatemala and entered the Zone. There we went to the Guatemala Immigration/Customs building and "checked out". It costs Q10 (ten quetzales--pronounced "cuh-SAL-ees")(depending on your exchange rate this is either a dollar or a little more).
Then we walked over to the Honduran Immigration/Customs building, "check in", and pay the $3 American fee. Then we're ready to enter the actual country of Honduras.
You could probably just walk on through at this crossing, as our last shuttle driver seemed to do twice a day everyday. It's usually better to just get the stamps and pay the fees.
