Thursday, 3/25 was spent in Belize City. It was also Grandpa and Grandma's 33rd Anniversary. Mom chose to spend the day cave tubing with Brian and me and Grandpa offered to watch the girls since on the ship since they weren't old enough to go.
I think the girls had a great time with Grandpa. They got to know a lot of the staff on the ship since most of the passengers had gone into port.
I don't have any pictures of Belize. The couple that I tried to take as we went by tender to port didn't turn out. And I didn't take the camera tubing because it would have gotten wet.
So...cave tubing. We took about an hour bus ride to the caves. When we got there we were told that all the guides were busy so we had lunch first and then saw the caves after. We were each given a tube, a life jacket and a hardhat with a miner's headlamp on it. We hiked for about 45 minutes thru the jungle carrying all our stuff. We were glad to finally get to the starting point. The river was very cool and refreshing. As we tubed down the river, we went into the caves. It was very dark. Mom and I had a hard time paddling the right direction and Brian or our guide had to keep pulling us back on track. Eventually our guide just towed us most of the way thru. It was very relaxing that way :) After the caves, we tubed down the open river back to the place where we started our hike. It was a nice day and fun to be with Mom.
We got back to the ship and checked on the girls and Grandpa. Elizabeth was asleep, but Abby was super excited to see us. When Elizabeth woke up, she said she wasn't feeling well. We checked and she had a fever of 101.7. We gave her some Tylenol, which helped a little, but she didn't feel well for the rest of the day and most of the next. I think it was too much sun the previous day.
Here are some photos of the towel animals. The girls loved these!
