Days 250 – 251. Sunday 5th – Monday, 6th April, 2020. Still at Pasaj Cap, San Marcos, Guatemala.

I expect you may be wondering what we have decided to do. After a long discussion with Pierre, we learned we could leave the Land Rover here (for US$50 a month) and we could get a driver to take us to the Mexican border. After much hair pulling and swinging…

Days 239 – 242. Wednesday, 25th – Saturday, 28th March. At Pasaj Cap, San Marcos, Lake Atitlan, Guatemala

This is our 12th day here now. I had a bad day today. It is very difficult having nothing useful to do. My sons in the UK tell me they have spent the day in the garden doing useful things like cutting hedges and replacing broken fence posts. I wish…

Day 235. Saturday, 21st March. Day 5 at Pasaj Cap, San Marcos Guatemala.

If we are here for a while, the problem is going to be keeping ourselves entertained. This morning at 7.30 I did my second yoga class. I suppose at the age of 70 and a half it is still not too old to learn. The problem I have is, unless…

Day 233. Thursday, 19th March. At Pasaj Cap, San Marcos , Guatemala.

We had set the alarm for 6am in order to be ready to join the convoy of seven vehicles heading for the Mexican border. Having previously made the decision to stay, we had changed our minds last night. Carl and Renee, the young Kiwi couple were intending to leave their…

Day 231. Tuesday, 17th March. From a Coffee Plantation near Coban to Pasaj Cap, San Marcos.

Dennis wasn’t very complimentary about the coffee plantation, yesterday, but I have to say it had a great little coffee shop and did an excellent cappuccino. We weren’t very happy in the morning as there was no water in the shower or toilets. We thought the plantation had just turned…

Day 229. Sunday, 15th March. From Laguna Las Pozas to Semuc Champey, Guatemala.

It was a misty dawn over the lake. Very still. The only thing to disturb the peace, the honking of 3 pigs who wandered past. Some locals were already up and performing their abolitions, or washing clothes in the water below us. Dennis had one final electrical matter to sort…

Day 227. Friday, 13th March. From Melchior de Mencos to Tikal in Guatemala.

Our night in the trucker’s car park was pretty peaceful. When we went to leave the boss man wanted 20Q (Queztal) for parking there. A princely sum of about £2, or NZ$4. Before we head to Tikal, there are some matters we need to attend to, being in a new…

Day 225. Wednesday, 11th March. Still at Rock Farm, near Belmopan, Belize.

It has been a bit of a roller coaster day. Good news to start. Our fridge arrived in Belize City last night. Hooray!! We have been in touch with the freight forwarding company, but we cannot collect it until their agent has cleared it through customs. Dennis has sent them…

Day 223. Monday, 9th March. From Juntos Cottages, Teakettle to Rock Farm, near Belmopan, Belize.

Such a treat to wake up in a big, comfy bed with crisp, clean white sheets. Especially when feeling one degree under. I thought I had escaped the cold which everyone else in the family had succumbed to. No such luck, it has caught up with me, but isn’t too…

Day 221. Saturday, 7th March. At Mayflower/Bocawina National Park, Belize.

The day dawned fine, after a soggy night. The tent was soaking, so we decided we would stay put and, hopefully, get dried out. Tim, Sarah, Charley and Jaxon have decided to go on. Their vehicle insurance runs out on Monday and they want to cross into Guatemala before it…
