'Dis is Caye Caulker man, no nosotros hablamos espanol aqui

Lazy days spent sunning and swimming
Clear skies, a change from Antiguan rainy season


View from the hotel veranda
10CC's dreadlock holiday blared out as we hopped off the boat onto the small island of Caye Caulker in the Caribbean sea, home to Joel Hodgson. Go Slow was the motto and slow it had to be in blazing heat.

4 days were spent sunning (Brought would be Pedro) eating lobster and getting used to the cat calls of the locals. Alice B would have loved it-rasta!!







The highlights had to be the the sailing, cheap lobster, balmy sea and beautiful surroundings.

The place to hang out
Balmy seawater

Upon many a recommendation we set sail on a Ragamuffinboat north with our captain Jacob and first mate Chucky for snorkelling galore. First stop, a manatee, the huge beast of a sea cow meandering it's lumbering body though the sea without a ripple.
Rum, sea, sailing = relaxation

Second stop, shark and stingray alley. Swimming with sharks and rays will always allow the risk adverse officer in you to assess but once snorkelling with these magnificent creatures it remains a wonderful memory. For clarity, they were nurse sharks, Heena 'Dangerous' Shah you would have been in your element! 4 to 5 feet shark here and some mammoth stingray and eagle stingrays to throw in.

Nurse Sharks
Birds-a-circling
Ceviche
Not a bad view, ay!
Third stop we saw turtles, grouper, barracudas, finding nemo (I've got one for you Aubin) and a flock of other bedazzling tropical fish. After a long day we set sail home to the sound of Uncle Marley, freshly caught ceviche and first class rum punch. Although, it seems rum headaches make me crave food like MEvry craves pies.
(Pre) Finally mastering how to snorkel, I was soo bad before.....!!!

Post a cracking seafood galore lunch
The days blurred into one as the blissful sound of reggae and rum mixed the hazy sunshine with a delightful twist of azure, bathwater sea and many a friend to amuse oneself at dinner.

Posing just like Pablo Evry.
