Day 8 - On the road to Caye Caulker!


Belize Day 8
This morning we woke up and went for breakfast at 7. We had breakfast with the host families. After breakfast, we packed up and got ready to leave for Belize City. We left San Miguel at 8.  It took several hours with a few stops before we came to Belize City. We dropped off the van and went to catch a water taxi and arrived there at 1. We got on the water taxi at 1:30. The water taxi is basically a boat for 60+ passengers. It makes stops at islands kind of like a normal taxi would.  It took us about an hour to get to Caye Caulker. The weather was nice when we arrived but after we got settled in it begin to rain. Caye Caulker Island is a small peaceful place. There are shops where you can rent golf carts and bicycles. For lunch we stopped at the Happy Lobster. After some delicious food, we relaxed and enjoyed the benefits of Caye Calker. It felt good to have comforts such as a nice bed and a shower. We had dinner at the Rainbow CafĂ© around 8. As we walked down the street to go to dinner an effort had to be made to avoid the large puddles of water that were scattered all over the road.  Despite what you think about a tropical island the weather wasn’t to kind towards us.  Other than that the day was pretty nice.  Everyone just hung out and relaxed until they went to bed.
