Did we mention the Caribbean island??

---

We left Guatemala for belize on tuesday morning, which was not a fun journey! i had the only wet, leaking seat on the bus whilst dan had a lovely dry sleep the whole way.
we eventually arrived in belize city and got straight on a water taxi to head for the smalll caribbean island of Caye Caulker, which broke down halfway there, but what better place to break down than in the caribbean ocean!
then we got to Caye Caulker, which was AMAZING! we spent the days swimming, drinking, diving, and sitting on the water picnic benches in the turquoise water at the split (where the island was ripped in half by a hurricane about 40 years ago!). We stayed there to watch the sunset most days. We spent one day doing a snorkeling tour of the 2nd largest reef in the world, we took a boat out there listening to reggae the whole time and then went swimming with manatees, sharks, sting rays and turtles - most incredible experience ever
in the evenings we went out with various people we met along the way and sampled the local cuisine of jerk chicken, lobster etc. then we went to oceanside nightclub everynight for some reggae, a little bit of hip-hop and a little karaoke!
and went for the occasional late night swim...

were now sat in a bus depot on the mexican border waiting for our bus to Tulum, only 2 more hours to go
