Caye Caulker

After spending a few great days in San Antonio we hit the road again towards Belize City. As the ride was quite a long one we stopped in Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary to break up the ride. We camped at a lovely property owned by very nice people. Despite her stating she would refuse to ride on her birthday we decided to make our way to Belize City on Cass' birthday and celebrate later in the week on the beautiful island of Caye Caulker.

Caye Caulker took hold of us and what started as a 2 night stay turned into a 6 nighter. The Caribbean locals were beautiful and the lifestyle certainly seemed to suit us! We did a snorkelling tour and a fishing and spearfishing trip with a couple we met at Crooked Tree and took advantage of 5 gallons (19 litres) of rum punch! 

From Caulker we returned to the mainland and biked to Monkey Bay Wildlife Sanctuary where the only wildlife we saw were millions of mosquitoes who were immune to our 98% DEET bug spray and horrible Dr Flies!

About Us

We are an Australian couple who love to travel as much as we can. Our first backpacking adventure began in 2007 when we travelled through Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and southern China for 3 months before settling in Beijing for 6 months to teach English. Beijing proved a great base to earn enough money to continue travelling as Cameron managed to get to South Korea and Japan for 2 months, before we both went to Canada at the end of 2008. We then worked and travelled in Canada and the US for about 8 months before heading home to finish university. After graduating university, Cameron as a secondary English and Social Science teacher and Cassie as a human services worker, we worked for two years before heading off for our next adventure. This time, we left Australia on Christmas day 2012 and travelled through Europe for 4 months before heading for Central America. We initially intended to travel in Central America for 3 months but ended up staying for eleven. This trip has seen us travel through over 20 countries in 12 months and we are not intending to stop just yet!
