Goodbye icky jungle creatures, and hello beaches!
We are ending our trip out on Caye Caulker. This is the perfect setting for the tail end of our Belize adventure. Caye Caulker is a laid back island where their is little distinction between the locals and the tourists. Just like the rest of Belize everyone has been so inviting and friendly. I have only been here a day and a half and have already met the most interesting people who are more than happy to show us around.
Before coming to Caye Caulker we took a day trip from Belize City to San Pedro. San Pedro has more development and tourists than Caye Caulker. After spending weeks in rural communities it was a shock to be surrounded by so many businesses and people. There is something going one everywhere you turn and the parties don't stop until 6 in the morning. Unfortunately being a day trip we did not get to experience the night life on San Pedro. Not to complain, I couldn't have wanted anything more than sun bathing on the beach and going for a ride in a Hobbie cat. After a much needed relaxation day on San Pedro we prepared for the remainder of our trip on Caye Caulker.
The beach front on Caye Caulker isn't as great as San Pedro, but there is plenty of sun, sand and the 'spilt' for swimming. All of which I am taking full advantage of. Contrary to what those on San Pedro say, their is plenty to do on Caye Caulker.
Today we went on a snorkeling tour of the reef and shark and sting ray alley, and tomorrow I plan to rent a kayak and paddle along the coast line. Their is so much more to do here, if only I had more time.
On that note I am going to go and enjoy the sunset over the ocean.
