How incredible it is to find such a small subtropical oasis like that of Caye Caulker, it's even more incredible to think that this place is only 4hrs away from the hustle and bustle of Cancun!
The motto of the locals here is 'Go Slow' and while we were still recovering from spring break we definitely practised this way of life for the short time we were there.
After dumping our heavy backpacks at our hostel named appropriately as 'Dirty McNasties' we quickly made our way to The Spilt to sink some Belekins and bathe under the Belizean sun. For our first full day on the island we experienced some crazy subtropical storms and enjoyed some takeout dinners from Auntie Anne's while watching the lightening hit the horizon.
For our 3rd day we were up bright and early to begin a boat tour with a local guy named Paps and his accomplice, Denton 'Rastaman'. For an all day boat tour you can't beat "Island Roots". Firstly, our 'tour guides' made a strong point of telling us that they provide rum, weed, and music all day, and they weren't kidding. Secondly it's a cheap and easy way to see all the best snorkeling spots Belize has to offer. From fishing for barracudas, and feeding sharks to swimming with huge stingrays and turtles, this tour gives you the full experience.
To end the day we journeyed through some wild weather to a private island with a small deserted shack, cooked up our catches of the day and drank way too much coconut rum before heading home around midnight to rest our weathered heads.
