Day 243 – 247. Thurs. 2nd April. Guatemala.

People are getting restless, us included. However there’s not a lot we can do. A couple of days ago Jen & I went to town to buy some more supplies. What an experience that turned out to be. The property is located on the side of a hill between the…

Day’s 236 to 238. 24th March. Camp Pasaj Cap, Guatemala.

While there is not too much to write about brother Ash suggested we put some pics in of our surroundings. Jen here, briefly. I will just write little bit. We seem to be entertaining ourselves reasonably well, so far. Amongst the group we have organised Spanish conversation classes. I have…

There is a group meeting this morning at 10.30am, for the Overlanders. The objective, to establish a food supply source and chain. The group attending amount to approximately 20 people but others who are/were fly-in-fly out tourists on site, also attend. As yet we don’t know what supplies we can…

Day 232. Wed. 18th March. Pasaj Cap Campsite. Lago Atitlan. Guatemala.

This morning we are assessing our new situation. We are in ‘Lockdown’ in Guatemala. Even if we chose to make a dash for it there is no guarantee we would get back to NZ with more airlines closing down operations and border restrictions hardening. Realistically there are massive complications for…

Day 230. Monday 16th March. Semuc Champey to Coban. Guatemala.

Couldn’t wake up this morning. So relaxing and watching the birds flit in the trees above us through the roof vents. We are only driving up the track about 250m to the scenic wonderland of Semuc Champey. I had never heard of it before but neither have many Guatemalans heard…

Day 228. Saturday 14th March. Tikal to Laguna Las Pozas. Guatemala.

“Mission Control, we have gremlins in the electrics”! Nothing electrical would work in the living quarters,  apart from the fridge which was being temporarily run off the cigarette lighter socket!!! Trying to find the reason was causing major confusion, so Jen said, “lets rewire the whole thing”. With no soldering…

Day 226. Thursday 12th March. Rock Farm Belize to Melchor de Mencos, Guatemala.

Big day today. We were up early, around 7am…:) By 10am we are packed, have said our goodby’s to Jerry, the camp owner and are on our way, the 108k’s, back to Belize City. We have an 11am appointment with Miss Butt at eZone, the freight forwarding agents, to pick…

Day 224. Tuesday 10th March. Rock Farm Bird Sanctuary & Guest House. Belmopan. Belize.

I can’t believe how lucky we are to find this place. Only about 5 k’s from the capital, Belmopan but a sanctuary for the soul as well as for birds.  There is a lovely Russian couple Sergy & Tanya camped here, who now live in Toronto. This morning we chatted…

Day 222. Sunday 8th March. Mayflower Bocawina National Park to Juntos Cottages, Teakettle, (close to Belmopan). Belize.

The temperature dropped to around 20cC overnight and we both slept well. 10 hours. Great stuff. Such a difference from temps in the high 20’s. It must have stopped raining during the night because the Caranex was fairly dry. However by 8am it was raining again, steadily.  While we were…

Day 220. Friday 6th March. From Hopkins to Mayflower Bocawina National Park. Belize.

I omitted to mention that when parked on the waterfront in Belize City, and away on Cay Caulker, someone from the Belize Land Rover Club had left a very professional looking postcard sized card under our windscreen wiper blade. We later carried out a lengthy chat on WhatsApp with Jad,…
