so plans for today, we are cave tubing thru the caves. YAY!!!!! first off, Belize was my absolutle favorite place that we went to. all the people were extremely friendly, and really made us feel welcome. and we had the best tour guides!!!!! they took us thru the towns and told us all about there way of life. like when they turn 18, the government gives them a peice of land, and they have 5 years to start building on it. they dont finance or anything, so they build there own house.
once we got to the beginning of the trail, we got dressed, and got our tubes and equiptment. the walk to the river was probable about a half hour, but was really entertaining. our guid took us into a cave and showed us some formations, and a swarm a bats. he let us try a bunch of native plants, like guava, oldspice, termites(yes the bug) bitter jackass, etc. he also showed us alot of cool plants, like this one plant that when you touch it, it wilths away and looks dead. really really cool
speaking of cool, the water when we first got in was PERFECT!!! we got in, linked up our tubes, and went down the river into many caves. we were able to see many cool formations like a mother and child, a bird protecting an egg from a snake, and the cave gaurdian.
the only complaint i have about this place was the ice water dripping on us from the top of the caves.
unfortunatly, i dont have many pics from here, because we didnt bring our digital camera with us, so youll have to wait til the desposable is developed.
Fisherman Bliss fished in the waters offshore of belize. and donated 2 million dollars to the island because he loved it so much. but the first time he ever stepped foot on the land was when they were burying his body here. this is his memorial
