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 …

Mixed Results for Night Snorkeling
I got to go night snorkeling last night and it was one of the best snorkel trips I’ve done! We saw so many animals. There were 2 octopuses – one was bright blue and turned a molted shade of bluish-brown while we were watching. The other was just a baby and it only had it’s …
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 …
Seahorses
Bill finally got to go diving this morning. The weather looked pretty bad when we got up so we were concerned that he wouldn’t get to go again today. He was really hoping to dive at least once so it’s great that he got to go. He’s almost out of days. I had the morning …
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 …

The first thing they do after acquiring property is to put up a concrete …
Snorkeling
We finally had a bright, sunny day and reasonably good weather for snorkeling! It took a while for everyone to get snorkel gear and fins at Caveman Snorkel Tours so we left in boats a little before 11am. On the way out out, they gave us some fish and let us hand feed some frigate …
Sharks, Rays and Golf Cart Taxi Tours
We woke up this morning to more rain, and initially our day didn’t look very promising. At about 9am, a hotel employee came to tell us that all of our snorkeling trips had been canceled at least through tomorrow. Bill had been suggesting for a few days that we take a Golf Cart Taxi tour …
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 …
