Day 8 - Belize


Today we had some much needed down-time.  We took a kayak tour this morning and saw a lot of wildlife and learned a lot about the Belizean flora.  We saw a Jesus lizard, plain chachalacas with their babies, a boat-billed heron, centasaurs, vultures, a hummingbird on her nest, fruit bats, a heron, a snail kite, a raccoon, and several iguanas.  We spent the rest of the day swimming at a great local swimming pool.  We all even made some friends.  We were there for five hours so we are a little red!  We arrived back at our cabin to find a Howler monkey hanging out in a tree by the river.

  1. I'm going kayaking tomorrow night. It is a three hour moonlight kayak tour in Charletown RI. I hope it is as exciting as yours. Glad you're having such a good time.
    Thanks for sharing! Love, Oma
