Caye Caulker, Belize
After all the Mayan ruins, we made a stop in Belize. We went caving. (Caving?!?) Not what I would have chosen but it was quite an adventure hiking through the jungle, wading across rivers and finally climbing around and wading through caves up to my armpits in water. The cave was a sacred site where many Mayan sacrifices were made. There were calcified pots and even skeletons in this huge chamber deep in the cave. No cameras were allowed inside after some tourist dropped one and chipped a skull.
We finally arrived in Caye Caulker, Belize. This is a tiny island with only 3 streets "paved" with sand. Everyone instantly relaxed in this wonderful country with laid-back, friendly people.
