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…
Last night we had a firefly attach itself to the tent. We spotted it when we went to the bathroom. Then we came across frogs hopping all around us. This morning we had a dragonfly in the Caranex, which Charley and Jaxon tried to catch. I think it got squashed…
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…
Our last day in Mexico. Tomorrow we head into Belize. A pretty lazy day. Everything is washed, Poki has had a clean and we are rested and ready to head to a new country. Great excitement half way through the morning. Jaxon caught a fish with his net. He’d been…
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…
I was quite disappointed to leave our site by Laguna Bacalar at Buenavista. However, the consensus was to move on. It was a shame that the weather was overcast and it was quite muddy, due to the previous night’s rain. The Lagoon is very beautiful and in sunlight the water…
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…
Leaving Isla Blanca, for the second time, we headed into Cancun to restock with provisions. At just after 9am the kite surfers were already in the air with more arriving all the time. We stopped at the large bin by the exit to relieve ourselves of some of the packaging…
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 very short night. Dennis’s phone alarm woke me at 4am. (He of impaired hearing, couldn’t hear it!) Mine failed to go off. In fact I couldn’t find the phone, but eventually found it under the mattress when packing up. Neither of us felt like moving. After cornflakes and granola…
