Caye Caulker Airport

Small things are always cute which is why we always get a snicker when sharing this photo of the Caye Caulker Airport in Belize. Granted Caye Caulker is pretty small itself so it makes sense that it would have a small airport. There is a path that goes very close to the runway with warnings about low flying planes and sure enough we saw one come in while we were there.

We have yet to fly into this airport as taking the water taxi is much cheaper but if your are interested, flights depart from Belize City.

Drinking Is Fun Sign In Caye Caulker Belize

I got to admit I love the Drinking Is Fun Sign in Caye Caulker Belize, mostly because I would have to agree. Drinking is indeed fun. Even better if you are in Caye Caulker, Belize.

Go slow!

Have you been to that little island in Belize? There are no cars on the island, just golf carts, which lets you know how laid back the place it. But even though it is an island the beaches are not the best. It is still a great place for some tropical relaxation though! Which is why its motto is “Go Slow!”

We arrived in Punta Gorda, Belize after surviving a near death experience on a water taxi from Livingston, Guatemala (not kidding) and needed a place to relax and catch our breath before taking the bus to the Hokey Pokey water taxi (also not kidding.)

Very close to where the boat dropped off us we found the Driftwood Cafe which advertised espresso drinks such as lattes and cappuccinos, a welcome bit of familiar comfort. What you see in this photo is the machine used to craft such drinks.

Having a few years experience as a barista in Fort Collins, Colorado, I found this very amusing. That machine is designed for use in a home kitchen, not a commercial kitchen. But I do also appreciate making what you have work and that is exactly what the Driftwood Cafe did.

Our coffee and our breakfast there was a welcome treat, especially after almost dying on the open sea.

Our big vacation was 14 months of travel to over 20 countries so we experienced a lot of of different hotel rooms so it took a lot to win our “Worst Hotel” award.

Jeremiah’s Inn in Caye Caulker, Belize was bad for so many reasons but this photo illustrates the level of hotel we are talking about. The shower was a pipe sticking out of the wall.

How could a property really rent such a room to guests?

Also each night we got a dose of mosquito spray directly into our room’s window. We love Caye Caulker but would never set foot in Jeremiah’s Inn again.

When we visited Lamanai we opted for the river trip and it was a great experience even though we did not have the best of tour guides. You could tell he had done the tour every day for years and was very bored with it. We mostly ignored him and made the best of our experience on our own.
