We here at ‘You, Me and The Dock’ are revisiting Belize’s Caye Caulker. Many of you, especially our newest subscribers and followers, haven’t had the opportunity to read many of our earlier adventures. After deciding to retire from our jobs, Belize was our first stop on a three month tour of North and Central...
The Day After
Ramon’s Village Resort’s hellacious night was still very fresh in every ones mind. The people gathering around the large wooden archway leading into the island resort weren’t there to enjoy the resort’s amenities. Instead, they were trying to get a glimpse at the destruction from last nights fiery inferno. There will be no guest checking in today, tomorrow or for that matter,...

However, I am proud to say that the efforts from the community did manage to save almost 50 percent of the resort. The owner...

Belize’s Quaint Little Island of Caye Caulker

It was a beautiful day to be on the water. As we pulled into Caye Caulker, you could see the colorful buildings lining the island’s...
