“Aside from sunbathing, reading, relaxing [and drinking rum drinks] there is very little to do on Caye Caulker” – Frommer’s guide to Belize

Caye (“Key”) Caulker is the quintessential tropical island destination. With palm trees, warm turquoise waters, and lots of rum drinks it lends itself very well to relaxing and watching the amazing sunsets. Witt’s parents rented what we called the “Red Caboose House” for our week on the island.

Walking on the beach

We didn’t do a whole lot besides talk and catch up. Quinn had a great time playing with his grandparents. We went out on a day long snorkeling trip, which was the first time snorkeling for Grammy and Papa. Jen and I took advantage of the baby sitting to get in our first scuba dive since we were in Africa 10 years ago.

The island’s beaches aren’t fantastic, but Q didn’t seem to mind.

In a fit of nostalgia, we decided to pull all of our waypoints out of our old Africa Overland website and add them to the Sparks Tracker. Most of the points are places where we spent the night.
