We purposefully had a very slow and relaxing morning since we were catching a plane at 2:30. We wanted to eat all the food we had left so we took an inventory of our refrigerator. Three eggs, two pieces of leftover pizza from a great little Italian place here, salsa, half a block of cheese, three pieces of bread, two tortillas, a little bacon, butter, two oranges, a banana, some mixed tropical fruit jelly, and one beer that was here when we got here. Well, needless to say we didn’t get it all eaten, but we did have an interesting breakfast. Packing was the main goal of the morning, which actually was becoming easier with each time we move to another location. After we packed, we had a little time to kill so we went to a beach cafe we had been meaning to try. It was the cutest thatched roof restaurant with a phenomenal view, we were sorry we did not have time to return. Our Tropic Air flight was scheduled for 2:30 so we headed out for the airport (which was a whole 2 miles away) around 1:45. Just before we reached the airport in the cab, we came to what appeared to be a railroad crossing, only there are no trains in Belize. The bar that was lowered across the street was actually an airplane crossing. The road curves around the end of the airstrip, and when a plane takes off it does not lift up quickly enough to to give the road good clearance. So instead of chancing an accident with a car, they stop all traffic. It was only a minute before we saw a plane taking off and it indeed was still very low over the road. After checking our bags and settling into the spacious waiting room (with 4 sofas) we boarded the plane 3 minutes before takeoff. We settled in directly behind the pilot. It was a very windy day and we were anticipating a bumpy flight in the small 14 passenger plane. I couldn’t help but notice the “pilots operating manual” in the passenger side door and wondered if that was a good sign or not? The flight was relatively uneventful, a little bumpy as we expected, but the breathtaking views made up for that. We arrived in Belize City just after 3:00 and since Kim and Mike would be in at 3:50, we timed it pretty well, or so we thought. We actually saw there plane land at 3:45 so we hurriedly went to wait for them at the doors leaving the international terminal. Of course we know they would have to go through immigration and that would take a little time, but we could wait. 40 minutes later we began to wonder if there was a problem in immigration? We watched as every other person waiting on someone all left after collecting the passenger they sought. Except us, we alone were left. Now we were concerned. It had been almost an hour since they landed. Just before we convinced ourselves they may be the next stars of “locked up abroad,” they finally emerged from the airport. Our sign was not really needed with no crowd left. Not waiting for any explanations, we moved quickly to the car and driver waiting for us. We had a long drive ahead of us to reach Corozal. We had an interesting 2 hour drive talking with our driver Mandy. We convinced Mandy to stop by a supermarket before we reached our destination. We gathered eggs, bread, juice, butter and jelly. Mandy took us to the house we had rented. Jairo, the property manger was there to meet us, and held up a key ring of about 8 keys and proceeded to show me what each key fit and I just shook my head like I was going to remember. It was very dark by he time we got to the cabin so we couldn’t really see our surroundings. This cabin actually has a resident dog named Lila who is very friendly (and Jairo comes everyday to take care of her). After walking us though all we needed to know, Jairo locked the big gate behind him and left. Well, here we were in an unfamiliar place. We had a nice cabin to stay in on a large lot, but we were locked in by a big gate and 12 foot fence surrounding us (we had a key but no car to venture out onto the pitch black street outside). Since we had not had dinner, we got busy cooking eggs and toast. Not the first night’s dinner our guests may have imagined, but we have found it easier to just go with the flow. We feasted on our eggs and toast and had a great time visiting, we were looking forward to morning and actually seeing where we were…
