Caye Caulker, Belize - Lobsterfest 2008

From Tulum we took a bus into Belize and spent a night in Belize City (not a very nice place, not really worth writing about). The next morning we got a boat to an island called Caye Caulker just in time for the annual Lobsterfest which marks the start of the Lobster season. There were shows, games and music as well as stalls and restaurants serving every form of Lobster imaginable. Over the weekend we had: Lobster pizza, grilled whole Lobster, Lobster kebab, Lobster burger, Lobster omlette, Lobster stew, Lobster nacho's, Lobster salad, Lobster cerviche and Lobster tails!

The island is very small, with dusty roads and golf carts instead of cars! Down one end of the island is a bar, swimming area and diving board.

The people are very friendly and as it is so small we bump into the same folk quite a few times a day. One local we have been speaking to quite a lot is an old man called Glen who wear jewels around his head and always makes up funny lies (such as he has 5 sons around the world that have all played in the World cup and that Winston Churchill slept with the Queen.)

We got to watch the final of Euro 2008 in a sports bar by the beach which was good, particularly as Mike put money on Spain before we left meaning we won almost £80 from the tournament.
