Well , here we are in Belize. The flight from Miami was on time, and I had a window seat, so sneaked a few pics with my iPhone. Here is what I saw through the cabin windows of our two planes.
- Beautiful shades of blue and turquoise.
- Miles of mangrove swamps and lagoons as we approached Belize City
- The wing flaps open briefly, as we came in to land.
- Safely on the ground.
- Something I didn’t buy at the airport.
- Then we were whisked off in a tiny propeller plane, across the reef, to San Pedro.
- There was one solitary house right on the tip of the island.
- Tonight, we had delicious dinner at this beach restaurant right next to our hotel.
Tomorrow we will go out exploring. There are so many golf carts racing around the streets. Maybe we’ll also hire one and see where it takes us. It’s awfully windy at the moment, which does nor bode well for my hair, but everyone else also looks like the ‘Wreck of the Hesperus’, so do I care? ๐
Chat again when I have something to report. Thanks for all your ‘Bon Voyage’ wishes. You’re all so very kind. Mwah!

Have a great trip, AD… ๐
Thanks so much, Bams. ๐
To Travel is to Live – Hans Christian Andersen
Enjoy!
Oh yes, I so agree. ๐ Thanks so much, Anne.
Sitting here in a full storm – not envy one bit … take an other Mojito for me and all your absent friends.
Oh, I love storms when I’m safe inside. Should I have a Mojito for each of my absent friends, or just one between them?
I’m safe .. I don’t mind the storms when I’m indoors.
I want you to take one for one of each of us … but maybe not all on one day. Start with me *smile
Okay, I will try. ๐
I’m sure you will manage *smile
LOL – I’m not sure why you didn’t buy that thing at the airport! ๐
Shame about the wind. Enjoy your exploring!
Thanks, Dianne. Whatever would I do with that monster man? ๐
AD do enjoy your Holliwobbles ๐
Do you snorkel ??? I gather it is amazing ….
Thanks. Poppy. I have been snorkeling a few times, but I’m not a very comfortable water baby, so may not do it this time. The sea is rather choppy.

EEk
No doubt you will find something else to enjoy ๐
Yes, we’re going to see Mayan ruins tomorrow, and a river cruise to see if we can spot some crocodiles. ๐
Take care ! never smile @ a crocodile …..
I have nominated you for an award on my site! You can see it here: Maxima
Thanks so much, Stefan. I do already have this award, but I am honoured that you should also pass it on to me. ๐
Have a wonderful trip! ๐
Thanks so much, LuAnn. ๐
Sylvia – Nice birds-eye view to down below. Enjoy Belize, you lucky dog.
Thanks, Tom. ๐
Enjoy Belize AD ๐
We will indeed. ๐
Awesome!!!
Thanks, RV. ๐
Love the pic with the wing flaps up! Glad you had a safe trip … enjoy!
Thanks so much, Frank. ๐
love the clouds
cannot imagine why you did not buy that piece of art — it is a thing of nightmares
Yes, the clouds were really fascinating to watch. One does have to draw the line somewhere, when buying souvenirs. ๐
Looking forward to seeing Belize through your eyes.
So far, it’s a bit like Phuket, but not so smart. ๐
Well, you know me. I investigated on Google Earth ๐
I wonder how global warming will affect the island one day. As it is some of those cays (pr. keys) have drowned already.
Will you be visiting any of the Mayan ruins?
That would be very sad, but I suppose it is inevitable in the future. Yes, we are planning a trip to Lamanai tomorrow.
Nice. I’m sure we’ll see the pictures.
Looking forward to more travel tales AD
A post a day is my aim, but we’ll have to see how much spare time I have. ๐
Can’t imagine how you could pass up that dude at the airport! Though he might have been a bit hard to pack….. ๐
Very hard to pack, but I’m sure if I’d put in an offer, they would have made a plan. ๐
Enjoy the island AD ๐
Lovely pics!!
Thanks so much, ๐
Oh yes, more lovely armchair travel to look forward to!
Glad you enjoy my travels, Gilly. ๐
Looks beautiful from the air! Have fun. ๐
Thanks, Cathy. ๐
Don’t get blown away!
I’ll try not to. ๐
I’m soooooooo envious particularly as it’s tipping down here in wet and windy England
I really wouldn’t like to be on ‘Mud Island’ at the moment. ๐ฆ
looks a holiday i paradise ad, just made for you!
Thanks, Christine. It’s going well here. ๐
Hi,
I just love the statue with the “Bite Me” t-shirt, it must of been hard to resist buying that one. ๐
Great photos, and I am looking forward to seeing some of the beautiful sights.
Thanks so much, magsx2. Yes, He just waved to me, but I didn’t wave back. ๐
Good to hear you have arrived safely Sylvia.I will look forward to your postcards from San Pedro.. ๐
Thanks, Adrian. Lots to photograph here. ๐
Belize is a cool place. Went cave tubing there a few years ago
It’s quite warm and very windy here at the moment. I’ve done cave tubing in a couple of other places, so ma give it a miss here. it is fun though. ๐
Where you staying? On the islands or the mainland?
San Pedro. You can see the pics here: https://adinparadise.wordpress.com/2013/01/11/sun-sand-and-mojitos/
