Breakfast was not quite as fancy as the previous day’s but hearty enough to get us through the morning.

The Rural Side of Life
Crystal Cave is located out in the Cayo countryside in the general area of our previous day’s cave kayaking trip, so we were once again able to catch glimpses of local rural life, including farms and a nearby Mennonite community.

As with the previous day, it was cool to see both modern and traditional ways of life.
And of course, countryside means plenty of animals around.
Judging from the tiny glimpse of the local Mennonite community and their farm, they are clean and organized and know how to put up a proper building. The few we came across were always pleasant and nodded or waved a hello.
I was amused by this scarecrow.

Nature Hike and Crystal Cave Exploration
After an hour’s 4×4-ing in the countryside, the real tour for Crystal Cave starts with a 45-min or so hike followed by several hours of cave exploring, including a lunch break. This is a cool tour offering the chance to see a Mayan cave, complete with ancient pottery and human remains – minus the crowds. I’ve included more details of the hike and exploration in my Crystal Cave write-up here.

Dinner
With one of the members of our tour being a little less than sure-footed, our tour took a couple hours longer than expected, which meant another cold shower as well as dinner in the dark. Ah well. If all things go well during your experience, you should be back at your lodgings before sundown.
Dinner was a simple but filling affair back at the Jungle Lodge with chicken, rice & beans, and some veggies.

And here ends a long but satisfying Day 7 with our most exciting adventure of the trip to come on Day 8 with the ATM Cave Tour.
