Belize – Caye Caulker, in the world’s second largest reef barrier

We left the paradisiac island of Tobacco Caye and at least this time the boat trip was not so rough. Our next destination was a popular island in the north, Caye Caulker, and to get there we took a public bus to Belize City and then a boat to the island.

Caye Caulker has the real Caribbean style with sandy streets, charming colorful wooden houses, coconut trees everywhere and a jaw-dropping blue water.

There are no cars there, only bicycles and electric golf carts, even the taxis are like this.

But this island has no beaches like the other ones, but it is still possible to swim from several points and the most famous one was on the northern tip, which has a sandy entrance to the water (which they call “the beach”), a popular bar that plays reggae all day selling drinks and where is the best spot to watch the sunset. A cool and relaxing vibe!

On our first night on the island we met Alice and Kate again (the 2 grisl we met at Hopkins) and of course the night ended in party. Alexis was pretty drunk, we danced all night long and the next day we were wasted and we left the room in the middle of the afternoon only. Yeah, we’re getting old. Ahahaha…

One day Carol did the famous snorkeling trip to Hol Chan Channel, Shark Ray Alley and Coral Garden, in the world’s second largest reef barrier, after Australia, which is right next to the island. It was just amazing! She swam with several sharks, stingrays, huge fishes and the green sea turtle, she saw the green moray eel swimming (which is very rare), fishes of all colors and sizes (some huge) and corals of all shapes and colors. The visibility and the water color was perfect and it was the best snorkeling she made in her life!

Watch the incredible video of Carol swimming with sharks, rays and fishes:

Alexis played guitar on a bar where an open-mic was going on and it was a great success! Again. Alexis delighting people with his music worldwide.

Then we spent a day relaxing and enjoying the wonderful visual of the island before starting our long journey to our first so awaited stop in Mexico! Aiaiaiaai!
