Our initial plan with our last few days back in Belize City was to visit the Crooked Tree Bird Sanctuary. Unfortunately, there's been a lot of rain lately and it's closed due to flooding.
Therefore, we decided last minute to take the water taxi over to Caye Caulker (a small island about 45 minutes away). It's known for its laid back vibe, younger clientele, and budget accommodations. It's advertised as "car free" but there are lots of noisy ATV/golf cart type vehicles. Bicycles are also a favoured mode of transportation and available for rent to tour the island on your own.
We basically just wandered for a couple hours, stood/sat under an awning to keep dry during a sudden rain downpour, stopped for coffee and a smoothie, and checked out a few of the shops. The Belize Chocolate Company was our favorite! :-) (Which I neglected to get a photo of.)
