Day 9 - Mayan ruins and somewhere down a lazy river?



















































































































Today we all took a high speed water taxi from San Pedro to Belize City where we were met by a guide who transported us to the Mayan ruins of Xunantunich and then to Cave Branch River for cave exploration as we traveled through them floating on inner tubes. Our guide was really good. His name is Carlos Gonzalez and his email address is tourguide33@yahoo.com

The Xunantunich Ruins are quite spectacular although not the largest in Central America. Tomorrow our team will be splitting up, Doug and Jeremy will be going over to Guatemala to see the ruins at Tekal. These are very impressive ruins and much larger than Xunantunich. Kerry has been there twice before and says they are amazing.

Tomorrow Kerry, Roger and Perry are going to do the ride back from Belize to Cozumel and will eventually meet up in Puerto Morales with Doug and Jeremy, who have decided to return by bus rather than ride over the same route again.
