Caye Caulker

Our $10 (US) lobster dinner

We made it to the island Caye Caulker today after a short water taxi ride. In Belize City and when we got off the boat on the island we were bombarded by taxi drivers and tour guides, which was more than mildly irritating. In Caye Caulker, one guy ended up showing us to different hostels, most of which had no vacancy. Finally, after walking an hour in the sun and with the weight of the packs starting to take their tole, we found one that was reasonably priced with wi-fi. From here we explored the little town and ended up at the Lazy Lizzard bar, which was apparently the tourist destination. Without much of a beach, most people were laying out on the warm cement. The weather was nice and we were able to swim in the warm, clear ocean. Afterwards we came back to the room, took cold showers as there is apparently no water heater, and went out to dinner. Here we met some fellow travelers who gave us plenty of advice and tips on where to go. We had a Lobster dinner for only $10, and when you walk out back to the restrooms, you walk through the open kitchen area where the cooks are grilling away! All in all, a very nice first whole day.
