I never expected to be swimming in a dark cave on Christmas morning. We didn't know what to expect during that long bus ride thru the heart of the Cayo district. When we arrived the guide led us through the jungle for about 45 minutes on foot. Then he handed out helmets with lamps, jumped in the water up to his chest and said, "let's go!, stay close behind." Three hours later we emerged into the sun and ate a fabulous lunch....it was absolutely the best experience. And thank God my son loaned me his black t-shirt....
The next day we paddled to San Ignacio, about 2 hours away from the river camp where we were staying. Talk about intimidating...floating down the river in Central America heading for a town we never had been and the only directions where to exit the river at the "concrete block on the left." We did it and had the best tacos in a little place most people in Dallas would never dare go in. I love allowing my adventurous side to come out in Belize. Join us October 22.
