We ventured off road to this vast Mayan settlement in Belize. The 1200 year old main temple called Caana is still the tallest building in Belize at 141 ft. There can’t be many countries in the world with such an old tallest building.
On a recent trip to Guatemala we popped over to Tikal for some magnificent Mayan temple viewing. Temple 1 and the resting place of Lord Chocolate sits majestically in the background.
The number of times I have tried, as a mother, to get the perfect picture of my kids. Personally, I think this comes quite close. Once again it was taken on the pier.
The sea is just a hop, skip and a jump so that’s what we do after school.
We tried our first lobster in Belize and we weren’t disappointed. The ‘blue Iguana’ bar and restaurant conducted a love poems competition as background entertainment while we ate. We gave top marks to a love affair between a black-eyed lobster and the poet. Peculiar stuff.
James has taken to a daily spot of fishing off the local pier. One time he brought back 5 or more snappers each about 15cm long. The next plan of attack is to row out to the reef and get something a little meatier. Photos to come.
We managed a few days hanging out by the Caribbean sea while we investigated home rental opportunities, schooling etc etc in Belize. Nice.
And another one …
Jex managed a spot of coconut tree climbing in between school.
