Finally Some Sun!

Caye Caulker has already provided us with more nice days than Mexico and we've taken full advantage. Our first day here on the island was spent just lounging in the sun and laying in the hammocks provided by our hostel. It's an idyllic setting for not doing much...



The following day we all headed out on a snorkeling tour on a sail boat. It was amazing. We saw fish, turtles, rays, small sharks and a whole lot more. We were also provided food for the trip which included ceviche. Yum.



The next day, we went kayaking around the two small islands that make up Caye Caulker. It was relaxing except crossing the split (the space between the two islands) where the current is a little strong. We finished out evening dancing at the Reggae bar. Norwegians sure can party hard!

Perhaps my favorite thing about the island is the relaxed pace everyone has. There are no cars (only Golf Carts and bikes), all the roads are sand and most businesses are only open for a half day at best. I haven't had shoes on in 3 days and I haven't missed them at all! Even our lobster supper takes about and hour to get from Fran's open air grill on the beach and nobody really cares. Just more time to relax and socialize.

I'll definitely miss both the island and the Norwegian girls who I've come to love!

*The connection here sucks, so I'll post more photos later today
