Caye Caulker (Belize) - Meet you at the Split

CAYE CAULKER (Belize)
23 February - 28 February 2018

Caye Caulker is an idyllic Caribbean location that hasn’t had the misfortune of encountering, or needing to be host to, a wealthy jet set type that has unashamedly placed it out of reach of the common man. It’s just a laid back, easy going type of settlement where you can jump off the end of a dock into the warm waters of the Caribbean and genuinely be satisfied with your lot in life.

Gentle breezes, swaying palm trees, sand roads and a barefoot compulsion.  How aggressive and faced paced a lifestyle can you form when your chief mode of transport is a golf cart? Not that you really need a buggy to get around, on a flat, sand laden island (caye), your two legs and the two feet you have attached to them will be just fine.

Both of us love Caye Caulker. It’s hard to even imagine now that on our trip through Central America one year earlier it was our plan B, what we could afford to do if we had spare time.  Thankfully we did find ourselves with a few days spare and this is how we were rewarded in turn. Who says there’s no prize for being well prepared and ahead of schedule.

Also, as a minor additional prize, I managed to run into an old OzEmail acquaintance, Daniel Vandervaere, who is one of those people that probably travels more than us, and thus, it was kind of inevitable that somewhere around the world we’d catch up, even randomly, which is exactly what happened on this occasion. Both of us did our Caye Caulker check-in and we advised by mutual friends that we were here at the same time. You know what that means – DRINKS.
‘Meet you at the split, mate’.
