(^78) Caye Caulker – Belize City (by ferry) - Crooked Tree - 62 kilometres
Eventually, the time came to leave the island and return to the mainland. We were
relatively slow in packing up but still managed to get the 10h00 water taxi to Belize
City (it was a good thing it was late). After repacking the bikes, it was 12h00 by the
time we departed and slowly made our way north.
About fifty-five kilometres further, a sign pointed to Crooked Tree and, as I found it
hard to cycle past a place with a name like Crooked Tree, we made the detour.
Down a rough dirt road of about six kilometres was the village of Crooked Tree,
located on Crooked Tree Lagoon. The entire area had been declared a wildlife
sanctuary for its birdlife. As accommodation was expensive, we asked to pitch our
tents under a massive mango tree. All this happened to the great amusement of
the villagers as they had never had such a request.
