Cave tubing

Had a bit of mince in the morning after breakfast and went off to Jaguar Paw for some cave tubing. Had some advice to try out the lunch in a local restaurant which did a mean rice and bean dish with stewed chicken. It was very good and only a couple of pound, so not bad really.

We trekked half hour to the start of the cave tubing, as we walked through parts of the jungle we saw insect bats, coconut palms and local fauna.

We were both given a large black inner tube ring to sit in and our guide Luis led us through various caves. Li was scared as usual but soon relaxed as we moved on. The rock formations and crystals formed over the years were impressive and the whole experience was relaxing.

We contemplated zip lining but were told by the guide that there was zip lining near where we were staying and it was cheaper so we didn’t do it. Turns out the only place to do zip lining is in Jaguar Paw; looking back, we think he wanted us to leave after our cave tubing as he hitched a ride with us to his mate’s house en-route back to our cabin.

Headed back to our log cabin and chilled out in the bar, Nolan – our barman was very friendly and was telling us what else we could do in Belize and made a good margarita for Li. Plan for tomorrow is to try horse riding and then head to a butterfly farm and nature trail…more unmade roads, great 😉

For dinner we both had T-Bone steak which was absolutely excellent (According to Tony, the best he ever had). We got the recipe off the cook who is the owner.
