This is my final essay on our recent cruise. In addition to the zip lining and submarine ride, we also took an open trolly ride around Belize City (interesting but not wildly exciting) except for one extra bonus. In Belize my FF, who had not been feeling very well, was able to buy amoxicillin over the counter. He felt better within three hours after he took the first dose. Our other, and more exciting tour was of Mayan ruins in Costa Maya. Our guide was of Mayan descent and really quite knowledgeable. I had seen a Mayan ruin in Guatemala some years ago but this was more interesting. In addition to one very large, completely excavated temple (correctly called a temple not a pyramid, according to our guide) we walked through what was the center of a large city and saw other buildings in the process of being uncovered and some still completely covered with dirt and vegetation. The land was very flat so every mound we saw concealed something man-made. All in all, a fascinating stroll through history. In case you're wondering, no, I did not climb the pyramid/temple steps. If those clever Mayans had invented escalators I might have considered it.
The foundation of a private home.
