Expensive and noisy Belize - Part 2

MAYA CAVES AND DELICIOUS FOOD (continued, p.2) The cave entrance is quite wide. It implies some sort of a river, so we had to enter the cave by swimming. We followed our guide Martin. Everything was dark, so we put on helmets with flashlights. The cave was beautiful! We climbed up, then going down, making their way through narrow passages, sometimes we even had to cross the river to swim and wade. All this time we looked at the sides and top, where there were bats and stunning stalactites and stalagmites, as well as various crystals that sparkled in the dark, like diamonds. The cave had a lot of ancient pottery that Maya left behind as offerings to the gods of many hundreds, maybe thousands of years ago. Also there were the remains of those whom the Maya sacrificed. Most of the impression remains of a young woman who was left at the top of the cave. Her bones are still lying as though she is dancing. Over time, they were covered with different layers and look a bit shaggy. Stunner! Mayan pottery on the surface we went in the evening. Seen fireflies and bats. More than anything interesting. Our guide said that several months ago on his way to the bus the tourists saw a boa constrictor, and a few days and puma, but we're out of luck the next morning we boarded the yellow bus to Belize City. We're lucky we got on the express. Though he is worth half as much, but we have saved about an hour. In addition, we are fortunate that the people were few. The rest of the buses that we saw before, were filled to capacity. Skeleton Girls Town, Belize has been very hectic. It is full of beggars, but also rich enough. We could not believe how everything is expensive. Biscuits in the supermarket is more expensive than at home in Australia. We have had two hours to explore the city. The next ferry to the island of Caye Caulker, leaving only half a second. When we returned to the terminal, always had a lot of people, mostly American tourists. When the ferry arrived, started some kind of commotion. On the ferry on one side folded luggage of those who went to Kaye Caulker, and the other people who wanted to go to another island - San Pedro - who apparently was more attractive place to visit. All who sailed to San Pedro, boarded a ferry in the first place. Just this last stop. The remaining space filled wishing to get on Kolker. Those who do not fit on a large ferry, sat down for an additional boat. We are lucky we won the last two seats on the second boat. Standing passengers did not take place, so some tourists had to stay on shore and wait for the next ferry, which departs at half past! Lobster for dinner trip was not pleasant and took about 45 minutes. We arrived at the scene and went to our hotel which is located just 30 meters from the wharf. This small hotel called "At Yuma." Well, we booked a room in advance, because at the entrance to our hotel, and at other hotels, too, wore a sign "No vacancy!". In addition, some of the travelers with whom we spoke told us that the island would come more than 200 American tourists to celebrate the wedding here in the New Year's Eve. In general, we are lucky that we guessed the reservation. A very small island, but it has its own special atmosphere. On its streets full of hotels, bars, restaurants and small supermarkets. However, all worth a little more expensive than on the mainland, and it is not good. Local menu, we go to a few trips with the company, which is called "E-Z Boys." Let's see them in action tomorrow. " To begin, we dive with masks. My friend Dario found on the island of local players and disappeared in the afternoon for two hours. For dinner we had a special menu, which cost us 25 Belizean dollars per person. It came seafood soup, main course to choose from, a portion of fresh lobster and shrimp. There was another cake and three rum punch. Excellent meal and not much to spend! Now we take pivf "Belikin and went ashore to look at the stars. See you soon!
