We had a really good couple of days exploring Hopkins, although our luck did seem to turn against us again... We finished Mikes birthday off by getting a cool cabana with a hammock and going for an Indian (which Mike found too spicy), in the evening. The following day we planned a bike tour along the river marine reserve in the hope of seeing some crocs and manattes! The bikes we hired were not the best - no gears and to stop the bike, you had to peddle backwar...

We arrived in Caye Caulker (an island off the coast of Belize City, great for diving!!) hoping for some amazing beaches and some brilliant diving, but unfortunately we found neither! We managed to find a cheap backpackers with amazing showers called Daisy's and we booked a snorkelling trip for the following day. The day after, we planned to do the famous dive site called 'the blue hole'!! The following day was not looking good. The sky was grey and it was pouri...
