Jan 27 Arrival to Belize


 Today I left home at 4am to be at the airport for 6. Left the car at the park n jet and on the shuttle to the airport. Sat next to a nice couple from Sparwood BC on a week long holiday. Plane was delayed 3/4 hour cause the shitter was broken. Lol. Took 10 min to fix and 35min for the paper work. 🧻. Haha. Great flight. Brenda and Garnet came on the resort shuttle to picked me up. What a drive to the resort! The highways here are more like quad trails out west. So many pot holes and speed bumps on the gravel road were interesting. Stopped a couple times for beers and bathroom. Saw a crocodile in the river. After two hours we came to a small ferry crossing with a hand crank. Brenda and I got out of the car to give the operator a beer and took turns helping him crank the ferry across the river. On to the Orchid Bay resort. I’d say beautiful resort but it’s absolutely jet black outside and haven’t seen anything except our little casita. Night critters chirping around us as we sit in the screened porch. Over to the Crimson roof top bar for appies and a margarita. It’s a party with DJ and lots of dancing. Met a few locals. Now having a night cap on the porch. Watching for creepy crawlers lol.
