I keep forgetting that Caye is pronounced "key."
Bob had given me two coupon codes, so after another speedy breakfast (inclusive with my hotel accommodations; have I not mentioned that?), I dash off to the ferry terminal, this time on foot, and arrive with time to spare.
Caye Caulker is an earlier stop than Caye Ambergris, so I'm off the boat before nine o'clock, onto another tropical paradise.
I felt that yesterday, I did San Pedro somewhat wrong, so today, I rent a bike pretty quickly. It's a smaller island, so I hope I can bike it in an hour, start to finish, and get the lay of the land. Nope. The northern properties are pretty isolated, and pretty pretty, but they mostly have For Sale signs on them. One was palatial, but looked almost abandoned, except for what I assumed was a caretaker.
I was sweating too much to take pictures, but later on in the day...
Ah... |
And...
I know, right...? |
It was nice.
In between. I kept consulting Fodor's, looking for places to eat. Places were closed and street signs were indistinct, and the storefronts I saw were less interesting than the ones in the book, and... I ended up just buying alcoholic beverages at bars and soft drinks at markets. Cool, though.
A... house? I don't know what I'm doing anymore. |
It was a hot day. It was a cool place. Maybe I could be there.
When I got back to Belize, Richard was at the front gate.
"Hey, man!" I said, as we shook, "I was out on Caye Caulker today. I think I'm just gonna walk back. You have a good one!"
I took the long way back to the hotel.
And, uh, FYI, this is the place I still haven't gone to. Worth a look, though, huh?
It doesn't LOOK famous... |
