Arrival In Belize City. Try to find a bus on Good Friday.
Heading out the Hummingbird Hwy to Cave's Branch
What a place for a highway
more of the countryside
Ryan after talking down the taxi fare
Be it ever so humble... our jungle home for two nights
The view from camp, start of dry season
night falls on camp (no flash)
up at the crack of dawn for a run
on a little walk before the day begins
plants that will grow anywhere
Roll 46 - 70
we don't have those back at home
the morning commute, on a tractor, through the orange groves
Ry paddles upstream to the cave
someone find the light switch
going in to the mayan underworld
the first critter we saw
cave jewels
funny looking mayans before going to the alter
Scott and Nancy looking their best
calcite column
Mayan alter for blood letting to god of fertility
...letting blood helps you pass through the underworld on your way to heaven
Mayan wine pot
some big ass columns
nearly all calcite cavern
floating out
inventing the fine art of vine swinging
the tractor commute back
the brave jungle exlporer
young fines are good for decending but not ascending
Ryan perfects the art
some of the local tourists who wanted a picture
above the conopy, looking down hummingbird hwy
and more
and still more (I'm mailing them their picts)
time to practice speleology without a guide
we found this cute sign and promptly ignored it
the thing about head lamps is they attract bugs... flying bats eat bugs
St. Herman's cave entrance
Perfecting the three toed sloth method
Blue hole national park submerged cave
Another sign "we didn't see" (see the videos)
Ryan takes a nice jungle shower
3 toucans make a... never mind
A little jungle airconditioning back at camp
