After a smooth border crossing and what was probably the fastest trip ever through Belize City (about 20 minutes), we embarqued on the Caye Caulker Water Taxi for one of the offshore islands (called Cayes - pronounced Keys) of Belize. On the ride there we saw lots of ocean, some mangrove patches and a few ¨private island¨ houses, which were no more than a house on stilts and 1 or 2 trees (not the place to be in a hurricane!). Upon arriving at Caye Caulker, we found what you would imagine a sm...

Well what can I say about Caye Caulker! The first thing you see when arriving on the island is a sign saying "Welcome to Caye Caulker, Go Slow". Never has a sign been so true! This is the Caribbean and English is the main language here, which came as a bit of surprise considering the location of the country, between Mexico and Guatemala. The island itself only has about 1300 inhabitants and can be walked from one end to the other in about 15 Min's so it's nice and compact. As Belize used to b...

I arrived in Belize City around 10:00am and took a cab to the marina to take a boat out to Caye Caulker for some relaxation. When I got here it was amazing. Sand beaches, sand streets, smiling faces and sunshine. The boat ride was about 50 minutes arriving at Caye Caulker around 1:00am . I walked up and down the streets of this small island until I found a nice little Hostel off the main road called Bella's. Its a nice place but the owner is a bit of a nut. The rest of the day was spent on th...

It's 2 a.m. and I couldn't sleep a wink. The sand flies are sucking me dry. I counted 32 bites on my right arm alone and my eyelid is so swollen from another one. Apparently tropical strength bug repellent will work on them and coconut oil. So itchy, so itchy. Thank goodness the Tiger Balm we bought helps with all the itchiness.
At 5 a.m., we caught the express bus service to Belize City from Dangriga for only 10 Belizean. Good thing too, we wouldn't have been able to make a tour oth...
Yesterday we signed up for a dive trip to Lighthouse Atoll, Blue Hole, Half Moon Caye and Long Caye with Frenchie's Dive Shop which came recommended by the Reggamuffin guys. The trip met at 5:30 a.m. and cost 245 Belizean for snorkelers and 380 for divers which was all inclusive. Not bad for another all day tour. As we found out, the only way to see Turneffe or Lighthouse due to their distance was to tag on with a dive shop tour if you want to snorkel.
The ride in the speedboat was c...
Decided that going to Belize and not seeing the reef was crazy. Settled on Caye Caulker since it´s close, small and cheap. Good choice, but my spider sense for hostels failed me this time. Location, congenial public spaces, and quiet are what I need. Got none of them at where I stayed. The owner tried to take me under her wing, but she was so high strung and down on the place... who needs that on vacation? The noise of her kids watching TV to all hours plus the disco across the street killed ...

... small stalls lining the side of the road which was apparently the 'bus station!' I got off to guard the bags and alsoto try to listen to the language. It seemed really weird that people around us could now understand us so you had to make a note to yourself to watch what you said, plus when beggars etc.. came annoying you, you couldn't act like you didn't understand anymore, bugger! Needless to say I think my brain still couldn't register that these guys ...

... the boat stopped, we got our luggage off with the help of the water taxi employees. Some of the local rastas also helped unload luggage from the boat and began asking if they could help take tourists and their luggage to the hotels using bike-powered carts or golf carts. After having read about the rastas' hassling on the Belize forums, we were wary of hiring them to help and turned them all down. In addition to offering to take ...

... of that day was catching a massive barracuda which our trusty captain barbecued on the beach the same evening. That evening we stayed on Tobacco Caye which, although bigger than the first island, still only consisted of five acres of sand and numerous stately coconut palms. The island is surrounded by its own beautiful reef, and after docking the boat that afternoon and pitching our tent, we spent an hour snorkeling the beautiful underwater world ...

... I didn´t die though. After this we visited shark alley where there were loads of ..... wait for it ..... sharks! Great massive huge 3ft long nurse sharks swimming inches from my face. As a great white shark dive veteran though I was able to take this in my stride. Caye caulker was split into two by a hurricane. The "split" was a cool place to hang out and slap on the factor 40 every three minutes (safety first). I´m sorry I was a bit camera shy in ...
