Day 62 – 64 : Caye Caulker, Belize

Caye Caulker, an island located in the Caribbean Sea, was the only place I visited in Belize. 

The ferry from Chetumal transits in San Pedro (the island made famous by Madonna in the song "La Isla Bonita") for immigration purposes before arriving in Caye Caulker. A supposedly 2hr journey, the entire journey took us about 4 hours, including immigration clearance. 

Yuma’s House, Caye Caulker

There are a number of hostels available on Caye Caulker, with many which had rather unfavourable reviews online.  Some even indicated had mouse droppings in the rooms, or had seen rats, to others complaining about bed bugs in various hostels. 

While searching for options to stay, I came across Yuma's House, which seemed to have only good and no bad reviews. It also mentioned that they are quickly fully booked, so I made it a point to send an email to the hostel to reserve a bed while I am there. 

The property is located just next to the San Pedro Belize Express water taxi terminal and had a very welcoming entrance with its brightly litted property, colourful painted walls and blue seats and swings and hammocks in the open area.
