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…
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…
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…
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,…
It seems Belize has the second largest coral reef system in the world. Second to the Great Barrier Reef of Australia. However, much of the Great Barrier Reef has been damaged by the crown of thorns starfish. As yet, the Belize reef system is undamaged. Our trip out to one…
An early morning start this morning as we are crossing into Belize and have an appointment with a guy called Corey Wolf, who we hope, can find the cause of the fridge fault and with the greatest amount of good fortune, fix it. I have to say I’m skeptical but…
This is a glorious camp site. Right on the waters edge of a calm green Caribbean Sea. Coconut palms and a slightly undulating but nicely grassed area. There are old ships cannons embedded in the knee high stone wall on one side of the area. Testament to tumultuous times in…
Waking up with roosters crowing and all manner of bird noises and everything around us, wet. It rained last night but I don’t remember much, as I crashed. This camp has been blasted out of the jungle and the digger used to fashion a road…er track, is rusting away nearby. This…
Right now we are seated on the American Airlines flight 158 at Miami Int. ready to depart for Cancun, Mexico. It’s 2.30pm, the flight departs at 2.50pm and there has been no feedback from the luggage crew to say our box with the fridge repair kit, has been declined to…
A little rain on the roof this morning and temperatures are cooler. Around 23degC. Being Sunday and with much less wind, there are no kite surfers to interrupt our lazy morning. By 10am we had breakfasted and were packing up our gear ready to head into Cancun airport for the…
