Arrived at noon - sunny and humid. Debra and Phil live at the end of a road near the Belize River and their house backs on to a canal that goes to the river. Their yard has a coconut tree, honeysuckle, and what I think is a yellow hibiscus bush.
After Belikin beer on the shady patio and some lunch, Phil took us on a tour of the city. We saw poor areas, wooden houses on stilts, fancy houses on the water, mostly up in case of a storm serge. Also saw the Governor's house, now a cultural centre, Battlefield Park, fishing boats with dugout canoes on them, the Baron Bliss monument, a cruise ship anchored offshore, and the swing bridge, which is cranked open by hand.
