    Caye Caulker is a very tranquil place. Not much to do here except scuba diving and snorkelling. There is almost no traffic. Most people walk to wherever they are going. Some people have golf carts. Even police vehicle and taxis are golf carts. It is so tranquil that one day I saw a Great...

    Hi Niels, perhaps my book is out of date. It says the population of Belmopan is 7000 and is the smallest capital but I was told the population is now 20,000 so I guess it is no longer the smallest. No Steve, the headhunters didn't get me but I could slip off the path and drown in all the...
