| morning rain in the jungle |
We awoke to soft rain through the lush jungle trees. With memories of the sea fresh in our minds, we decided to take our chances with the weather and head out to Caye Caulker for the day. June to November is officially the Rainy Season, so we should have expected it to do just that. Luckily, we left all the rain behind on the mainland.
The bus that comes every 30 minutes just outside our hotel was standing room only so it came and went right past us. We hopped a ride with Alfredo taking some other guests to the water taxi in town.

Caye Caulker Water Taxi was on time and efficient. We ended up with the bags and boxes of produce in the back end of the boat, but that was the best place for a bit of a breeze. After an hour on the sea we landed on sunny Caye Caulker. Much more compact than Ambergris Caye, Caye Caulker was more of a sleepy tourist village than a town. We walked the length of the inhabited portion and scoped out our sunning spot.
Swimming was better off the side of the pier in the deeper, light blue water. Dani read and sunbathed while I wandered the sandy streets and took photos. We were both in our favorite elements. I even stumbled across a bakery and so lunch was a ham, cheese and green chili croissant. I think if I ever return to the cayes of Belize, I will head out to Caye Caulker for a few nights of peaceful relaxation.
