CAYE CAULKER - Sadly, our time with Kathy and Jim came to an end all too soon. But we had Leigh for a few more days... hooray! We went back to Caye Caulker for a bit more island time.

Sad goodbyes to Kath and Jim:





We stayed at a really charming place on Caye Caulker called Maxhapan... our host Louise was delightful! She had quite the green thumb and gave us all coconut water to drink.



AND free bicycles to tool around on, to Toms great delight!



Quite possibly the highlight of our stay with Leigh on the caye was the discovery of Adrian - the bartender and whiz of fancy fruity drinks. We appreciated Adrian greatly over our successive nights of patronization of his establishment. Check out those umbrellas (Tom ate his)! Adrian also pointed out the seahorses who lived just off the dock.  (Leigh, your pictures were awesome so I stole some!! )



We also went scuba diving in Spanish Bay, where, amongst the usual characters, we encountered a giant remora. Remoras are big fish which attach themselves to turtles or sharks, and feeds on scraps from the hosts dinner.  This one was probably 4 feet long, and was unattached. He kept trying to attach to our legs... silly guy.



 

We brought a couple bags of oranges to the island, so Tom can make his famous rum punches. Nothing finishes a day like one of Toms drinks made with fresh squeezed orange juice! Aye que rico!



We finished off our week chillin at 'the split' for some sun basking and a bit of snorkeling (frog fish are awesome). Hopefully Leigh picked up enough of a tan to make coworkers jealous! 



We were so sad to have Leigh leave us! But it was really great to have her visit and it seems like a good time was had by all! Cant wait to have people come see us in Costa Rica!
