In Belize we went cave tubing. Due to the nature of our adventure, I didn't take the Nikon D40x but the cheap water camera. Those pictures have not been developed yet. However, our trip consisted of another 45 minute bus ride, and 45 minute walk through the jungle to get to the river where we took tubes, just like tubing down the salt river. We plopped our booties in the tube with lamps on our heads and rode through the cave down the river. Joey didn't like the dark part, but really enjoyed the sunlit part. It was a gorgeous and cool way to enjoy the steamy jungle.
Our tour guide, Tony, welcomed us to Belize and took good care of us. There are only 300,000 people in all of Belize and Tony told us that he'd love to have us be our neighbor... I'm all for a 2nd home in Belize, regardless of how poor the country is. It was my favorite place. Lots of little islands around, too. Here Joey and Dan pose with a small island that had 3 or 4 palm trees on it!
Every night we had a set dinner time (6 pm) in the Truffles lower dining room. At some point during dessert, the Maitre De would flash the lights and announce "SHOWTIME" in his Turkish accent. From there the wait staff would dance and pull the kids from the crowd to join them. Now, since Joey is selectively 'shy', I would join him. So, our table mate, Kaitlyn, Joey and I would dance.
Here, Joey learns the Macarana. Speaking of table mates, we were blessed to share a table with three of the neatest folks. Skip, his wife Amy and their darling daughter Kaitlyn were paired with us to share dinner each night.
Dining with them was a highlight to our trip as we had many things in common and shared our daily adventures with each other. We quickly became friends. Joey and Kaitlyn would play and talk all through dinner... singing the intro to Smoke on the Water practically every night! (Yes, we are officially sick of the song but I don't think Joey is done with it yet.)
