Touch down!

We're a little late posting this update ... We've had a hectic couple of days, mostly out of range of WiFi!

The trip went well; no dramas other than cracked suitcases! We arrived in Belize City at 7.30 yesterday, and the second we stepped off the plane it started to rain! But it's hot and sunny in between so we can forgive a day or two of showers.

On the ride over to the water taxi we had a driver who reminded us so much of Albert, we miss you Albert!

Assie met us on the San Pedro dock at 10.30, it was great to see a friendly face in a strange place. He took us to our apartment, which has its own resident crocodile out the back. It makes running to and from the golf cart at night a little more interesting!!

The apartment is round the corner from the Kingdom Hall, so no excuse for being late (and Sanderson time is pretty much the same as Caribbean time so it's impossible for us to be late over here!). There's a pic of the hall below for those curious about Belizean kingdom halls. We've been reliably informed it is one of 3 with air-con! 


We bumped into witnesses all over the island, they're so friendly, full of smiles and happiness.  A brother and sister invited us over for dinner. We found ourselves sat in their living room with a bunch of people from various nationalities and backgrounds, most of whom we had never met, yet it felt like home. What a privilege and a blessing it is to be part of Jehovah's organisation!
