What up Mon(s)!?
We are drying off in an internet cafe on Caye Caulker, Belize. Our wakeup call was the shrill hum of a major wind/rainstorm. I think that we were both sort of relieved, because the inclimate weather gave us the excuse to sleeeeeeeeep in and relax, without the guilt. The caye is pretty small and very tropical, although, you won't see many pictures of it today, due to a rigorous campaign of "camera preservation." Everyone will just have to wait until we see the sun and/or go crazy with cabin fever.
The trip down to Belize City was entertaining. After we dropped off our beater car in Cancun, we boarded a luxury bus en route to Chetumal (a border town). Our ride was quite swanky as it included comfy reclining seats, a free soda, air-conditioning, movies (in Spanish) and an awesome bathroom-- much bigger than the ones on an airplane.
When we went to board our second bus, the one which would take us to BC, we were very surprised to see an old American school bus pull up. "Hmmm", we both thought in unison. It turned out OK, we ate some spicy plantain chips, got some leg cramps, and I managed to make a complete fool of myself. You see, there was a cute toddler in the seat in front of us-- so cute that I complimented the mother on her "beautiful baby girl." She thanked me and then said "it's a boy." Scott was grinning from ear to ear.
After a few "crack-head" encounters in Belize City, we finally boarded our water taxi and reached the island. Our first order of business was food, so we filled up on lobster at the Rainbow Grill. Last night, we enjoyed alot of reggae and Belikin (the beer of Belize) at the Oceanside bar. Hopefully, the "I 'n I" bar will have some live reggae this evening (the seats there are actually swings).
In the mean time, please enjoy the pictures from the first part of the trip in Tankah, etc...

Hi, Travelers!
Sorry for the rain, but we have one every day here, so why to travel so far by the school bus?
Your little budget motel looks like
luxury accomodation to me (unless the owner let you use this suite for pictures only?).
Hope, weather will change for better and more pictures will come.
Love, M-D-sqre & PS
Yeah good it looks like your havin fun
