Wednesday 9^th January – Day at sea.

Ian woke at 05.15 as his bed was wet again!  Yes the air conditioning unit in our cabin is still leaking intermittently.  The Ukrainian A/C engineer was called again and took half our ceiling down.  We couldn’t use our cabin for several hours.  No apology or compensation offers received yet!!

 

It is a bit windy today and ship rolling around so even more passengers have disappeared.  Nesta has had a bit of a sense of humour failure today.

 

Thursday 10^th January – Belize.

Did full day tour to Xunantunich (or tuna sandwich as we were told to remember it!). Ship too big to dock, so we had to travel 4 miles by tender in choppy seas. It was a bit of a white knuckle ride!! “Little Amy” was very rocky on the way over – lots of wet passengers from the spray. “Big Mama” on the way back was much steadier.

The ship’s generator broke down this evening which meant complete darkness in the cabin. Ian had just finished his shower and covered his face in shaving foam when the lights went out… Should have brought a torch (or night vision goggles!).

All fixed after 20 minutes (or so the captain assures us…)

                                                     The main temple at Xuantuniich

                                           Still work to be done to unveil the full glory

                                             Many other buildings still to be uncovered
