Caye Caulker - 4/27/1985
We arrived in style to Caye Caulker on my birthday. I didn't know where Dave was, and all of his stuff was missing from the hostel when I got up, and we had already bought bus tickets, so I had no choice, but to go to Caye Caulker in hopes of finding him. My debit card got frozen during our last night in Tikal (due to a rise in identity theft) so I had $0 and no Macaw to help me out. I just went for it and hoped for the best. Met a couple of very cool girls on the bus ride over and the one believed my story and offered to loan me the cash necessary to survive until I got my card situation sorted out. We all ended up sharing a room at a hostel right on the main strip, and eventually Dave showed up w/ quite a story hahaha.
I didn't know what to expect of Belize, but Dave was pretty set on getting there from day one. Caye Caulker was by far the most tropically beautiful of all the places we visited. I saw more abundance of sea life in 1 day of snorkeling there than I did the entire 7+ days in Utila.
Our guide was awesome! I finally saw a sea turtle and swam after it completely oblivious to the rest of the world around me. Unfortunately, he brought me back to reality so I wasn't able to escape with my turtle friend.
