Maxhapan Cabanas Caye Caulker

... Independence Day' celebrations. A little like Notting Hill Carnival but on a much smaller scale. Loads of Reggea music, brightly coloured costumes etc. The locals really made an effort for the tourists to join in and make you feel welcome. That evening Cass and I had the best meal on Caye Caulker, lobster at Rosies Restaurant. OMG, it was so nice to get something decend to eat as we'd been eating **** since we arrived. We resulted one day in rolls and Dairlylea as the ...

... ones north to south and east to west, through the whole country, have oodles of pedestrians, cyclists, speedbumps and litter. <br><br>That being said, after briefly exploring Belize City one afternoon, we spent our two full days on Caye Caulker -- the most laid back place I´ve ever been. Or perhaps that´s an understatement. It´s possible that it´s laid back during the high season. But apparently it´s low season right now, because the place is soooo quiet. At ...

... be here for about 4 days before heading back to Mexico though, so I guess it&#8217;s not too bad. Gives me more chances to insult parents by talking about their hija's mammaries.<br><br>Belize is great. I&#8217;ll admit I was a little hesitant due to other experiences I&#8217;ve had in the Caribbean, where I was constantly offered drugs and Milli was constantly looked up and down, but here people have been lovely. Sure, I still get offered drugs but when I say no ...

We got a water taxi to Caye Caulker which is now only a small island as it got split by a hurricane and now the bigger part is just forest and mangroves and only about three people live there now! The smaller part however is really cool! You can walk round it in about an hour, and all the roads are sand and there are no cars. People either walk, cycle or get golf cart taxis!! The whole place was really chilled ...

... Travis and Chika. Saying goodbye to these guys was hard but we know for sure we will meet up again, that's the beauty of travelling it just makes you want to travel more not only to see more places but to meet back up with all those wonderful people who have made your dream even more amazing.... That night, Sandy and James freed the local dog then after watching it jumping around with glee we all went to bed happy that the poor thing was no longer tied up! Not the best ...

... and dipped in the river when it got to hot to bear. I made a quick stop at the ancient Mayan ruins of Tikal, which are absolutely mind-boggling. Now I am in Belize, on Caye Caulker...keeping a careful eye on Alma, the tropical storm that is hitting Nicaragua and Honduras now. I asked a local here about the weather, which had turned from sun to sheets of rain and pounding wind in a matter of hours. He said, "Well ...

... to avoid spending the next 5 days in a deco chamber and came up slowly. The sharks continued to follow closely as I ascended and were still right there at 5 m while i did a safety stop. It was truly an amazing dive and after an hour surface interval, we had a second dive at a site called half moon cay. A sandy bottom with 7 stingrays and 2 spotted eagle rays. Then lunch on an island and finally a second dive at Long Cay Aquarium where we saw 2 turtles. ming soon....

... contributed at the other end also with some towering headers from set pieces. Caye Caulker is all about the marine life. I went scuba diving here and saw some eels, turtles and barracudas, managed to breathe the whole time, which was nice. The scuba diving was trumped by the snorkeling. We got a boat to a place called stingray alley. In only about 5ft of water there was about half a dozen stingrays swimming round my feet, one even swam between my legs ...
