Day 6 - Belize

Today we got up extra early to be on the first tender to Belize City. We had a tour starting right away and we had to get there ASAP! Luckily we arrived and found our guide with plenty of time to spare,so we took off early. I paid a group rate online for the tour, but they decided to give us a private tour so we wouldn't have to wait for everyone else to catch up! Awesome!


We drove about 40 miles into the interior where we arrived at the foothills of the Maya Mountain range. There we entered a preserve where we went zip-lining through the canopy. What a blast!

When we finished up the zip-lining we changed into our suits and hiked 45 minutes through the jungle then dropped into a river and tubed through a cave system. Gosh that was nice!

We finished up the stay in the preserve with an excellent Belizian lunch of grilled chicken, tortillas, rice, fruit, fish-filled panadas, and my favorite Belizian onion salsa. YUM!

Ready for adventure!


Charlotte didn't balk at even the highest tree stands and always insisted on going first!
