General Election at the Same time as the Town Council Elections in Belize?

Over the weekend most of the grocery shop owners were seen putting up posters of the UDP candidates and it lends credence that the prime minister the Hon. Dean Barrow has decided to save the country money and hold the general election on the same day as the town council election.

He has also given 40,000bzd to each municipality (there are 31 of them) to buy presents for the supporters of the political party.

The PUP are still in disarray so it seems highly probable that this is the case.

Front Street Still Blocked in San Pedro!!!!

Traffic jams are allover the town as front street is till blocked. If this was a television show nobody would believe it. It makes Sesame Street look like a serious news program.

Charlie and Jambo’s Weather report for Ambergris Caye

It is getting warmer and the sun is already out. There are blue skies but there are a few alto cumuli clouds around.

Splat has decided that there are two many dogs at Pedro’s and is asking our help to chase off the ones that are just hanging around. I have put Corporal Jambo in charge and his job is to chase them off to Saga. The problem is he sees food scraps on the way and stops to have a good munch, and forgets what his main job was.

That Awful Clock in San Pedro

Well the visitors to San Pedro are arriving in huge numbers and the clock,surprise,surprise is not yet finished and front street is still blocked off to traffic.

We really should put up a sign saying “Geniuses at Work”. All this money spent just to advertise Ramon’s Village it is incredible that this edifice has been constructed and downright dumb to think that it is going to help tourism.

Aji Restaurant and Champagne

Last night we went to one of our favorite restaurants, and we ordered a bottle of Dom Perignon. The barman retrieved a bottle of the old bubbly from the cooler, and all was going well. Victoria,the owner, was looking very pleased with life and in particular  with her new barman. Suddenly all changed and she ashened faced said,”what” as the barman was apparently trying to add cherries to the glasses of champagne.

She had to take a breather and sit with us at our table and take multiple deep breaths. However all was well as no cherries had been added, and the food was simply delicious.

The Benedictine Monks would have turned over in their graves.

Charlie and Jambo’s Weather Report on Ambergris Caye

Well the cold front is still here and Lady Boss has got her woolies on. The weather looks set for today and it should improve tomorrow.

Yesterday was terrible as it rained when we went out to supper, and the bosses got very wet driving on their golf car.

Tis the Season for Taxies to Overcharge

Yet again complaints have been sent to the Ambergris Daily about taxi drivers overcharging.

We call on the various associations to regulate their drivers, and make sure that their taxies are clean and that the correct prices are charged.

One example was that a customer wanted a r/t ride to the greenhouse from Pedr0′s Hotel and was charged 20bzd and he ended up going to the bridge, and on the return trip to San Pedrito. This is ludicrous if you take a cab the drivers do not have the right to take other fares without the permission of the original customer. This 10 min trip took 40 minutes, and the taxi driver was very belligerent.
