I am not actually on Caye Caulker, but I was yesterday and so for the sake on the map tracking thing I though I would post as if i were. City. The Island was about a 45 minute boat trip out form Belize City. Needless to say it was a rough ride, particularly after a heavy night with a Texan named Libby who drunk spirits like it was chilled water on a hot afternoon! The Island itself was very very small though teaming with travelers. Besides the fact it was tromendously expensive, I had a great time. Again like much of my trip so far it was a solitary event, and I wrote a new song while paddling in the tepid sea water. That was of course, untill the tiny fish took a real liking to ... read more

We've been on Caye Caulker for the last few days now. just enjoying the island's slow pace and chillax atmosphere. On the way here the water taxi made a 5 second stop at Caye Chapel, which is an island that is just an golf course. you always here about these things and wonder if they actually exist. well they do-- for $1200 US a night. we're staying in a shack on the seaside with a rather sketchy dock. there is lots of shade to find (now that we are fairly sun burnt) and just enjoy the breeze and scenery. Yesterday we went on a full day snorkelling tour on a sail boat! it was lots of fun--- although I (Megan) was feeling slightly seasick, which was not so much fun. We snorkelled at the reef ... read more

You know your somewhere a little bit different when your told off for walking too fast...."go slow man!!"....as you do!....Caye Caulker is a great little island in the Carribbean jst off the coast from Belize, that basically revolves around diving and eating fresh fish off the bbq....suited us to a tee....there are no cars there and evryone drives about in golf carts or on bicycles. We basically spent our time there chilling out, relaxing, hiring some golf carts to tour the island and eating plenty of sea food which we've taken quite a liking to. Trying to whene ourselves off the old fly ridden yellow chickens over here. We headed out on our 3 rd day there on a snorkelling sailing trip, taking us to three different sites....coral garden, shark and ray alley and cant remember ... read more

Buenos diaz... om 5u gepakt en gezakt voor t hotel aant wachten op de colectivo van 5u-- 6u en hebben ook nog moeten lopen, als ze ons niet gezegd hadden waar t buske stond, zouden we t ook nog gemist hebben... (lang leve San Juan Travel Agency!!) In 't buske had KingZ t al onmiddellijk aan de stok met een Engels betweterke. Hij was met een andere kerel over de slechte service bezig en ze zei iets in de aard van 'For God's sake, what did you expect' om aan te tonen dat dat hier de gewoonte was... Toen is KingZ gedurende 5 seconden afgelopen, want daarna onderbrak ze hem al met 'I don't wanna argue with you'. (KingZ: ' ze had gewoon chance dat mijne kop er zo vroeg nog niet naar stond... - ... read more

to steal another line from aaron "you better belize it!" we're in caye caulker in belize right now which is a welcome and relaxing change. not that costal mexico was in any way hectic, but i like it here. last i wrote, i think i was in playa del carmen maybe? i dunno. maybe isla muejres. in any case, we went to playa del carmen and it was gross. the beach was nice, but the hostel was kinda crap and the main drag is almost worse tourist wise than cancun. the next day we headed to tullum with our full car. brendan and i, also maarten and rene from hollan and belkis from venezuela. we spent 3 nights in cabans on the beach. it was a lovely time, though i managed to get pretty badly sunburnt. ... read more
