Island Life

Spent a few days on Caye Caulker, where life goes on at a pace much slower than the rest of the world (there are some herbal reasons for this). Within 24 hours, it's possible to have met, and become friends with, most people on the island.

On the first night, Derek & I bumped into a couple (Rachel & James) who had also shared the delights of the Seaside Guesthouse....as good a basis as any for the formation of unbreakable bonds!!

The main activities on Caye Caulker are snorkelling, hanging out in hammocks, eating Lobster (the cheapest thing to eat in Belize!) and drinking happy-hour cocktails containing negligable amounts of Rum.

Apres snorkelling:



We swam with manta rays, eels, sharks(!), and trillions of fish. Apparently the sharks are not man-eating, but I've seen Jaws, I don't trust them an inch!!
