cruising into 2013: belize

We jumped off the boat, and just like the day before, we looked for the group that would take us cave tubing!
So cave tubing is basically what it sounds like. There is a huge cave system, and they take us through about a mile of it. We had to hike to the opening first, and our tour guide was awesome! He knew so much about the land, the different trees, etc. I didn't think I would have been so interested learning about the different trees, but it was pretty cool. We tubed into 2 different caves on our tour. It was really cool seeing all the rock formations, how the bats made their homes, and the natural water falls inside the caves. 
A quick dip to cool off before the hike.
Looking back on the entrance of the cave.
It was definitely one of the neatest things I have ever done. I mean, how many times can you say you went cave tubing in another country? After tubing we went to the owner's house where he converted the front of his lot into a restaurant. They served us a typical Belizian meal of rice and beans and chicken. It was hands down, the most delicious meal I had on the entire trip! We all ended up buying their hot sauce as well. It's going to be a sad day when I run out of it.
On the long car ride back we looked at our passports as our entertainment. Larry is the only one that still looks like that!
That night was our second formal night of the trip. Dinner was again fun and delicious, and again we ended up at the piano bar and the boys gambled.
It was an unbeliezeable day! 
Next stop, Cozumel!
