I.II.III.II – Caye Caulker (Again): Day Two

CAYE CAULKER (AGAIN) I.II.III.II – DAY TWO 19/09/22 By that time, most of the stuff I wanted to see and do had already been checked off. Being the over-planner that I am, my itinerary always has an ‘extras’ section which contains a list of activities or places to visit if time and money allow. Being here for a few additional […]

I.II.III.I – Caye Caulker (Again): Day One

CAYE CAULKER (AGAIN) I.II.III.I – DAY ONE 18/09/22 Going back to Caye Caulker felt a lot like going back home. The week I had spent there was amongst the best of my life and I couldn’t have enough of it. Truly heaven on Earth! Almost a week and a half into my fling with Roy and things seemed to be […]

I.II.II.II – San Pedro: Day Two

SAN PEDRO I.II.II.II – DAY TWO 17/09/22 The next day, when the Bloodclaat Gang arrived in San Pedro, I was fully refreshed and actually rejoiced at the sight of them. We had just one day left here and so, we had to make it count. After the traditional fry jacks for breakfast, we rented a golfcart and made way to the […]

I.II.II.I – San Pedro: Day One

SAN PEDRO I.II.II.I – DAY ONE 16/09/22 Another day, another ferry. It’d be my second time stepping foot in San Pedro, though this time round it was intentional. After dropping my stuff at the hotel which was on the opposite side of the island, a mere five minutes away from the ferry pier, I headed out to explore the town […]

CAYE CAULKER I.II.I.VI – DAY SIX TO SEVEN 14/09/22 & 15/09/22 Apart from diving, there was also something else going on… My fling? I honestly don’t know what to call it, but yeah, let’s go with that.

I.II.I.V – Caye Caulker: Day Five

CAYE CAULKER I.II.I.V – DAY FIVE 13/09/22 Over the following two days, Kate, Szimon and I had four more dives with practical sessions that went over all the basic skills.

I.II.I.IV – Caye Caulker: Day Four

CAYE CAULKER I.II.I.IV- DAY FOUR 12/09/22 I woke up to the bitter realisation that I had lost my nipple piercing sometime the day before. By that time, the wound had already practically closed. In not wanting my nipple to look misshapen and scarred, I took the very wise decision of repiercing it myself – with the blunt metal stud itself. […]

I.II.I.III – Caye Caulker: Day Three

CAYE CAULKER I.II.I.III- DAY THREE 11/09/22 The following morning, Roy went to work early and I, bursting with giddiness, made my way to…. drum roll… Scuba class! I’d lived in Malta; an island surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea on all sides, since I was nay but a zygote. I’d been fascinated by all things marine since I was a kid. […]

I.II.I.II – Caye Caulker: Day Two

CAYE CAULKER I.II.I.II- DAY TWO 10/09/22 The following day was one I had been looking forward to for many months. I’d be going be a snorkelling tour at the marine reserve of Hol Chan; a protected sealife sanctuary that draws in millions of tourists annually! At 9AM sharp I was to be found at one of the tour companies’ stalls […]

I.II.I.I – Caye Caulker: Day One

CAYE CAULKER I.II.I.I – DAY ONE 09/09/22 A two-hour ferry ride away stood my first destination in Central America – an island called Caye Caulker in Belize! With a fresh breeze and sea spray in my face, I felt reinvigorated. The melancholy of leaving Mexico behind soon turned to exhilaration as I was about to step into another country. And […]
