A wander round the less touristic Caye Caulker. Belize. Three for the price of One.
Caye Caulker, uninhabited until the middle of the nineteenth century, then a number of the refugees fleeing civil war on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula rocked up.
The settlers developed a profitable fishing industry based on cooperatives. Now Caye Caulker is a quiet, unhurried beach town.
A short walk away from the touristic areas, not knowing what to expect, a deserted run down beach through the mangroves
Through an uninspiring graveyard and voila, what do we have here then?
*"A three-star hotel located in the heart of Caye Caulker. Thanks to its recent refurbishment, our establishment exudes a pleasant and cozy vibe. Retreat to our well-equipped rooms, where your comfort and relaxation are our top priorities."
I get the feeling I am alone, not suitably dressed for climbing through windows but, this way I shall never travel again. Got to do ot.
*Amenities in the hotel rooms include a TV with international channels, mini-fridge, mini-bar, mirrors in the washroom and room, and a complimentary set of hygiene products consisting of at least two towels per person, toiletries, and a bath cap.
Now, one just knows one has made it big time when there is a mirror in the washroom, let alone two fucking towels per person.
Peel me a grape someone
.......and on some obscure booking website (hotelsmotor.com)they are still taking bookings for 2024.
Think that luxury of two towels per person bankrupted the business.
*advertising blurb on said website
Further into the mangroves a shack, a simple shack with fuck all in it
I got the wrong end of the stick again, apparently a booby is a bird.
I've never been lucky
In recent years a small Creole community, mainly immigrants from Belize city has developed.
Over the fence we go
Fuck me, chainsaw massacre springs to mind
Someone needs help, a priest or their dealer, who knows. At least it isn't written in the blood of previous explorers
Caye Caulker a destination for backpackers, those on a budget and those seeking.......... high times.

Did you know you have your own profile map?
And every post has their own map too!
Want to have your post on the map too?
Oops 😐 those acres over there are for sale. The sign says it. But you have to armour of courage to live with so many corpses nearby and those blood-colored writings... it's all too strange. How did you get there? You give me goosebumps.
i just put on my crocs and walked lol
😳
Wow. Some of those writings remind me of the rants of some of the religious zealots in the southern US. Like Henry Harrison Mayes and the "anonymous" guy who built the Georgia Guidestones (now destroyed). Except the folks who wrote this stuff were probably stoned out of their gourds, if the fence surrounding the location is any indication. 😆
What's left of the decor in the Belize Odyssey makes me think it hadn't been refurbished since the 90s. I couldn't find a listing for it on HotelsMotor.com, but the Parkside Hotel Group is still advertising it proudly here: https://www.parksidehotels.com/parkside-belize-odyssey-resort/
Oddly, their photos make it look much better than yours do. 🤔 😂
Thank you for sharing!
