Beach to History

yesterday was our last day in Ambergris Caye. We chilled with a massage by the beach, shopped a few local stores and ended the night with a sail into the sunset. Yes found a prime location for sunset....however the clouds didn’t allow us to witness anything too exciting.   The water, music and drinks aboard the searious adventure was great.




The best we saw of the sunset....long before it even went down.





Inside our place we stayed at.  It was really nice!!


The last morning began early with having to catch a taxi to the airport and fly back to mainland Belize. Here we met up with our own tour guide and headed for a history lesson at the Altun Ha Mayan Ruins.  We hit this historic site to very few tourists so it was fantastic. Once we were finished our tour 2 huge groups came in for a tour along with a heavy rain shower. The kind you need to duck for cover from.



Birds Eye view of the waters












hahaha....something about this photo only our tour guide could convince us to do this ;)
Think the Mayans would've done such crazy things???





This is a photo of the main highway in Belize.... And the results of the rainfall.....


We’re now settled into Belize city at the Red Hut inn. Where we are swinging in hammocks listening to today’s endless rain...makes going home a little more desirable.
 
The Belize experience has been fun and adventurous. Due to the intense rainfall overnight we didn’t experience the cave tubing adventure I was really hoping to go on. Who knows if the opportunity will happen again?
One last night here before we travel home.

A little bubbly

This was the very first night that I officially slept well.  Finally transitioned over to the Dutch time zone.... Started the day with by filling the stomach with a good Dutch style breakfast.  If you're not Dutch could you guess what it is? With full stomachs we headed out for the day.  It was a rather frightening start down the skinny Dutch little road.  It barely can handle a bike and a car passing each other.  So to our surprise a massive semi truck was barreling down the road.  We pulled over in a pullout but  became trapped between a large truck and the canal. That canal was not looking too pretty for a swim.... Glad we didn't end up going for that swim and the we had no extra rental car bills to pay as the truck nearly missed the sideview mirror.  After safely arriving to the park n' ride we caught the bus.  This is a fantastic system if you're in Holland!  It cost 5 Euro to park the car and ride the bus for up to 5 people! ...

Trips and treasures

A little while ago I put the link back up on my social media page from a blog about Mother's Day.  Although I get very emotional about the day and the upcoming to the day with my precious Mom being in heaven, I do remember that I have the honour of celebrating motherhood and celebrating with other mothers in my life.  I know it can be a difficult day for many in different ways.   My one little guy who hangs out with me a lot gave me a special treat when I was down....how can you not resist his smile, with a card, cup of water and an apple all delivered with that big smile and even bigger heart. Shortly after that day I was given the privilege of going on a much desired field trip with my daughter.  If you know me at all, or even through this blog you know how much I desire the ocean and the wonders of it.  This trip to Salt Spring Islands did not fail me or my wonder of our wonderful creator.  We have so much more to experience from the ocean..... ...

2021

 Turned the calendar to 2021 a while ago and just have not sat down behind the computer to type away in a while.  I just had those summer 2020 blog posts waiting to be completed.  At last that goal was accomplished and I feel like the rest of 2020 went awash......I made a video to summarize our year and felt like that was good enough to complete the year.   I won't say our 2021 had the most marvellous start.  Our family was in isolation and I can't remember what day it was of 24 days being inside our home that we rolled the new year in.  However we were loved upon by many family members and friends over the time of being indoors.  Also what better time in the world to be "stuck" at home as you can get your grocery deliveries and any other shopping done and delivered all within 24 hours.  We did not suffer.  We may have been a little stir crazy at points, but we made the best of it! Building forts hasn't happened in a long time in our house, b...
