Last weekend, my friend and volunteer with Cornerstone, Nadia, was leaving Belize as the end of her month here was over. She decided for her last hurrah she wanted to go to Caye Caulker. I was pretty strapped for cash but, what the hell, I went anyways. We had an AMAZING time.
I loved Caye Caulker. It's so laid back and calm.
The weather was supposed be bad but by pure luck the sun came out and stayed out all weekend.
We were plaining on heading over there at 6:00 but of course we slept late. She thought I set my alarm clock, I though she set hers. We made it on the bus at about 9am. We arrived at the Caye at about noon. Quickly got a room at Tina's Backpackers, changed into our suits, and hit the beach.
We spent all day working on our tan.
Once the sun went down we started wondering around town in search of grub. We had an AMAZING salad at some restaurant that I can't remember the name of but it started with A.
After dinner we started walking around an noticed a sign that said "happy hour 8-11" That is our kind of happy hour. AND! They had guacamole which I have seriously been craving badly. Outside they had this circle of swings set up with some rasta guys playing music. They were really cool so we ended up just swinging and listening to music all night.
Sunday Nadia wanted to go snorkeling but like i said i was strapped for cash so I just laid in the sun all day. Elizabeth showed up around noon (yay!) and we just hung out till Nadia got back.
We met her out at the split.
Then we went to an amazing restaurant. Outside of the seating area there is this table of lobster and fish that had been caught that day. You pick which one you want and then they grill it for you. I picked a red snapper. I was kicking myself for not getting the lobster though.
After eating we went back to the swings where we learned that nobody goes out on Sundays in Caye Caulker. We then went to bed pretty early.
Monday Liz and Nadia got up early to ride bikes while I slept in a bit more. We then got on the water taxi, said our goodbyes to Nadia at the airport, and headed home.

Lobster is better fresh from a cold-water region...it was actually a better choice not to get the lobster as I'm sure you might have been disappointed in the taste! If you ever go to Maine (or further north in Canada), that's the place to get it.
