It rained during the night fairly significantly and the morning started out looking fantastic. It was a shame that we were leaving as it would have been a good day to get out on the water. Riding in the water taxi the seas were mostly smooth. I had sat all the way to the front …

And she sings
We’ve come to the end of our time here in Caye Caulker, Belize. Final assessment, four days in the mainland was spot on. Had a good time and got to see a bit of Belize. Ten days on Caye Caulker, that’s hard to say. In general it’s probably too many days. There’s not a lot …
The Blue Hole Snorkeling Trip
We did a three stop tour with Frenchies Diving today. They start early die to the long trip out. They have you meet at 5:30, they do offer a breakfast. They could have also said come at six if you don’t want breakfast and things would have been fine. The spread was nothing to write …
Scuba diving in Belize.
I finally got to do a scuba dive. Sadly it ended up being just one. It was a good dive though and I am okay with things. Technically I did dive a second time and made it to the bottom but had to return to the surface due to a malfunctioning regulator. My spare had …
Slow day
Hello all! Not much going on today. We rode bikes this morning to go get a few bucks from the ATM and check on my scuba diving for tomorrow. The dive shop was closed. We got some treats from the Belize Chocolate shop, brownies are excellent, the raspberry tort is good but not worth the …
More from the taxi and snorkeling
Our guide/ taxi driver Reynaldo from the Barefoot resort told us that the Chinese are buying up a lot of the properties here, they possibly get financing though Chinese banks/ government that then take the business if they miss some payments. The first thing they do after acquiring property is to put up a concrete …
Caye Caulker:The Grand Tour
I should have brought the selfie stick! Today our luck with Mother Nature has not improved. While I was prepping my gear for our trip the gal from the desk came a knocking at our door. She was apologetic about the weather and that they would have to cancel our snorkeling for today. She also …
Inevitable
When traveling there are things that are outside your control and no amount of planning will keep you from the inevitable day where you are limited in what you can do. Today has been one such day. The weather was bad most of the day, it rained fairly significantly this morning and then pretty steadily …
Not as hot
It’s not super hot all the time, seem like in the afternoon it’s not as hot as in the morning. At least when we go to the pool it’s not hot. Up at Cahal Pech the sun was hot, the air was hot and the concrete was hot on your feet. Here it’s not bad. …
Tid bits
While we were on the mainland there were a lot of taxis that were luxury vehicles (Mercedes, Lexus, Acura) that had dealership stickers from along the east coast of the United States. Most were in need of new shocks, they weren’t very cushioned on the bumps and they had a lot of excess travel on …
