Better Belize It
Our Belize travel route |
Belize
The second last country on our backpacking adventure, Belize is small but very beautiful.
π° Belizean Dollar (£1 = BZ$2.6 / $1 = BZ$2)
ATM Caves
Sadly not full of money, the Actun Tunichil Muknal Caves are meant to be incredible and well worth a visit.
Belize City
Belize City is, however, where you get the water taxi to...:
Caye Caulker
Caye Caulker is a great wee island, that somehow has a China Town, despite only being about 5 miles long / 1 mile wide.
We stayed at π‘Dirty McNasty's, which has fab free breakfast and rum punch, but don't stay here unless you are guaranteed one of their newer rooms - their older rooms are just dirty and nasty.
- π‘Bella's across the road is better.
The Split

Barrier Reef Sport's Bar and Grill |
The food in Caye Caulker is so good. Eat at the stands at the side of the road for cheap, fresh seafood - even lobster (shoutout to Fran π)
Snorkelling
Swimming with nurse sharks |
It took us until our last day to do this (beach days are addictive), but it is the thing to do in Caye Caulker.
Snorkelling through coral in crystal water, seeing fish, turtles, sting rays and nurse sharks(!). Just a really great day. Some (lucky) people even see manatees.
πTop tip: wear sun cream (looking at you Kirk)
Leaving the Island
Caye Caulker The Split |
The hardest part. You can get the water taxi back to Belize City, but we chose to head straight to Chetumal in Mexico!
Thank you for reading!
If you haven't already, have a read back over the other countries in our journey.
Although my assignment for uni is over, the Little Black Backpack's journey will continue on to Mexico this #traveltuesday - and beyond! (how exciting)
