Karen and I are presently travelling in Belize. It’s amazing to see how much it’s developed since I was here in the 80’s.
After a night stop in Miami we started with three nights in Chan Chich Lodge in the Orange Walk area close to the border with Guatemala:

Our second visit to Aero Expo. Lot’s of geeky aviation stuff to see, but only one day at the show followed by a day’s sightseeing.

Karen had a second operation on Friday 12 November to remove the metal in her leg and place a frame around the outside. The consultant told us that the leg simply wasn’t healing quickly enough. She’ll be wearing the frame for at least four months so no skiing again this season.
Karen’s already up and about although she does get tired quickly. At least she’s on the mend…
