Thursday 31 May 2007 - Belize City, Belize

The ship anchored way out in shallow water and high speed tenders transported passengers ashore. We had booked a tour called Altun Ha and Belize City Tour. We found our bus and enjoyed four hours of sightseeing with commentary from a very informative tour guide.

Altun Ha is a Mayan ceremonial site and where the 9.5 jade head of the Sun God Kinich Ahau was found in the tomb of a Royal Priest.

We were allowed to climb to the top of the main temple and got some fantastic photos.

Came back to near the pier and had a couple of local beers at the Iguana Rana Bar before the tender ride back to the ship.
