Caye wot a Caulker

Wed, sometime in December.

Caye Caulker here we are!

A fast boat ride - two big V6 200 bhp outboard motors - and 45 minutes later we were on the Caye, a long paddle of sand and mangroves protected from the Caribbean by a coral reef.

It's reggae boyz meets latin america meets mundo maya all together in a laid-back sort of way.

Sunrise from our balcony. Oh the pain!

We've been snorkelling out on the near reef for the afternoon. The highlights among many were the entertaining green moray eel coming to see us off, and a family of 22 stingrays that continually kept passing in silent flight under us to check us out. Simply stunningly beautiful. I've wanted to see rays for a long time, Georgia has seen them before, so was very happy. Georgia also saw a big spotted eagle ray. We visited three places and saw quite a bit of coral, mostly brain coral, and some colourful fishes.
