Yesterday we arrived in Caye Caulker, Belize at 7:00pm and went to a hostel at the far end of the tiny island. Was okay, quiet and with a shared bathroom. Got chatting to a guy sat on the benches outside who moved from belize city to caye caulker to get away from crack as he was a crack addict, clean for four months and an evangelical christian. That was an interesting conversation, he was ok though. Then we went to Jolly Rogers and ate the most amazing lobster that big fat roger cooked on the bbq for us, we were the only people there really. got chatting to a local called steve, a big black raggae dude with dreadlocks who runs snorkelling tours.
So today we went on steves sailboat with 3 polish girls, a german couple, 4 american guys and gals and steve and two of his crew members. We swam with nurse sharks and sting rays and saw a sea turtle and other tropical fish, then we ate some tuna sandwiches and fresh pineapple and watermelon and drank rum punch and spent 2 hours cruising back to the island. It was stunning, they were pumping out reggae tunes and i have never been so chilled in my life - paradise.
The sharks were nearly the size of me but have no teeth so it was all good!
I better go as we are meeting the crew and some of the group for drinks and food at jolly rogers.
Tomorrow we leave early for guatemala.
As they say in Spanish - Estoy es la Vida!
This is the Life.
