Home sweet home

We've finally managed to track down a slightly faster internet connection in Belmopan. Hooray! I've tried twice before to add photos to the blog, but managed to crash connections in the attempt. We are waiting for DSL at home, but don't know how that will cope either. Have to wait and see, when the company finally get round to completing the installation. Customer service in Belize is ... polite but s l o w.

Right, time for the photies.

As you can see, we have a verandah on two sides of the house, which is quite nice to sit out in if there's a breeze. Unfortunately in the evening the biting insects make it less appealing. We are also the proud owner of a washing line and our very own pile of gravel - apparently destined for the extension of the concrete to make a path along the back of the house, which would be nic

We also now have a car. Ten years old and 90,000 miles, imported from Illinois according to the licence plate. But it has a/c - which is great on longer journeys when it has a chance to get going.

And some pictures of the inside of the house:

Sorry the light levels aren't too good. The dining room has a nice table and chairs, and the stairs are in here. The whole house has been newly decorated, with good tiles on the floor downstairs (previously it was bare concrete) and 'restrooms' as we are learning to call them. The kitchen is nicely fitted, but quite small and with a utility room off.

For all enquiries, interested purchasers should contact ... (Sorry, I was beginning to sound like a property salesperson for a minute there!)

At the moment we can accommodate two guests comfortably. There is still space in the bookings diary!

Next time: further afield. Keep in touch!
