Wow this has been a long trip.I decided that I didn't need any breakfast and had a bit of a leisurely start to the day. The manager has agreed that I can have a late 1pm check out, free of charge and then they will look after my luggage in a locked room until I am ready to go.So, I have to go back to the mall.The mall is practically empty, you can almost see the tumbleweed blowing across the floor.The lady in Macy's is very apologetic but welcome...

I slept well at The Regency. I like it a lot and it will be my hotel of choice in future.

During my packing session, I found one padlock so I fixed that to my m...

We have got on so well together and had many a laugh. I wish we lived closer to each other.Anyway, moving on ....Lamanai, or translated from the Mayan, the Submerged Crocodile. This ancient Mayan city is only accessible by boat along the New River.Don't you just the t...

Bit of an early one again today as we are visiting the Yaxhá ruins on our way to Belize.We had a mercy run to the local shopping mall last night. Our supplies of cold wine have run out!! Oh no!!!!I was also on the lookout for a new padlock for my case. After the flight to Flores my case turned up without one and the contents were not where I had put them.
