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,…
Someone we spoke to in Mexico and asked if topes were just a plague in Mexico, or if they were rampant through Central and South America, told us they were just a Mexican feature. They lied. Belize has its fair share too. Although here they are just referred to as…

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…
