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…
“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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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,…
