We boarded the taxi boat in San Pedro and around 40min later we arrived at our next destination…. Caye Caulker! The first thing that struck us about the island was its laidback nature. We thought that San Pedro was nice and relaxed…. Cayes Caulker managed to top it a hundred …
Belize it or not, here we are…. We started our morning in New York, caught our first flight at 3.20am, changed planes in San Salvador and finally arrived in Belize City. Here we had two options… Either we took a taxi to the dock and then a water taxi to …
