August 20-22, 2010
I have been in Belize for one year now!!! Time has gone so quickly. To celebrate our one year mark Emily. (our social coordinator ) planned an awesome trip for us at Tabacco Caye. Tabacco Caye is a very tiny caye it has two small resorts and a beautiful blue sea! My roommate was Erica. She and I had a room literally right on the water! The verandahs caught the breeze off the sea …while lying on a hammock.
The rooms had a bed and a bath. To take a shower you had to pull the chain and natural sea water cleansed you. The island does not have electricity and little cell service. Therefore, it was too expensive to get a frozen mixed drink because everything is ran on a generator (diesel is super expensive!)
About ten of us from our 2009-2011 group went took the trip to tobacco caye. It was so much fun. We swam during the day and relaxed and partied at night!!!
Some info on Tabacco Caye: One the island is grogeous!!! Tabacco Caye is a super duper small island (only 200 feet wide and 400 feet long). Tabacco Caye it is intimate and social, but relaxing and friendly (you can circle the island in less than 5 minutes). About 20 Belizeans reside here permanently, but there's no school, so children spend the week on a nearby island, and come home only on the weekends to stay with their families.
It felt like we were on our own private island!
