This video is a smorgasbord of everything van life. We had a beautiful campsite on the side of a lake. We visit a mechanic shop for van repairs. We cross a border. We do some van repairs of our own. That is van life in a nutshell.
We begin camped just outside of Flores, Guatemala, parked alongside beautiful Lago Petén Itzá. We had a gorgeous spot next to very well-appointed docks. We left in the morning to tackle some pre-border chores.
After getting Loki's international health certificate to enter Belize, we met up with our friends Terry and TJ at a mechanic shop to see what was going on with their van. They were getting a transmission fluid flush and engine oil change. We talked about the symptoms and likely causes with them and generally provided moral support and some Spanish translations. Afterwards, their van seemed to be performing well.
The following day, we crossed the border into Belize. This was somewhat of a challenge for us, which we didn't film. We needed cash to bring Loki in, and we had just less than enough. We took a cab to an ATM to find that the card wouldn't work to get cash. That left us further from having enough money. We scoured the van for alternative currencies and found enough Mexican pesos to exchange to Belizean dollars. Literally the exact amount required.
Once in Belize, we took our kitchen apart to assess an issue with our refrigerator. We cleaned the condenser coil of all the dog hair and found that the issue persisted. More to come on that.
