The Cave in Belize
After eating a homemade breakfast on our 3rd day,
we took an hour drive to St. Herman’s Blue Hole National Park. Following a short hike to the large entrance
of a cave, we stepped inside and saw many beautiful formations. We saw
stalagmites, stalactites, pillars (columns), and even a few plants! These
plants can, surprisingly, survive without photosynthesis. After our adventurous (and dark!) cave
outing, we took a short drive to Blue Hole. Blue Hole is a small freshwater “lake”
of sorts (“cenote”) that’s connected to the cave. The hole had beautiful flora, animals, and
dark blue water. Although it was rocky, we still had loads of fun. We played
some fun water games, then we finally had to leave the refreshing water.
Upon returning to the sanctuary, we took some time off from
adventure as we went straight to the hammocks and played some card games in the
cabanas. Overall, it was a great day here in Belize!
