The Belizian adventure continues.....part I Caye Caulker

Jan 6, 2010, Tom, Thomas and I took off for another adventure in Belize. As always, Bubbs was such an amazing traveler!

Thomas slept for most of the flight from Dallas to Belize City. It was a long day of travel, but well worth it.  We always enjoy going to Belize.  After leaving home around 6 am, we arrived in Belize around 4 pm.  After a short taxi ride to a very scary part of town, we arrived at the Caye Caulker water Taxi..... From here, it was a 45 min boat ride out to Caye Caulker. We found a wonderful place to visit.

Our Hotel......The Seaside Cabanas...

View from the top of the bar. It's a lovely pool but was too cold to swim...

Caye Caulker is a small Caye (island) NE of Belize City.  It's a great place to spend time and Slow down...... The locals are very nice. There are no paved streets.  No cars. Just bikes and kids and lot's of fresh fish. You can walk around the island (it's 1 mile wide by 3 miles long). The end of the island is called the "split". It was formed from a hurricane in 1961 that caused the island to split.  There is a bar (the lazy lizzard), a hotel, and a beautiful stretch of water to swim in.  I even saw a sting ray.........

Caribbean water......

Although it was the coldest weather in 30 years, it was still amazing..... Sweatshirts and rain jackets did come in handy!

The local kids love playing basketball. And of course, who better to show them some new skills than Tom!
