Welcome to Belize / Belize City

We anchored for the day in 2014 in the harbor of Belize City and took the tenders into the dock to go on a cave tubing and lunch experience. Like the Roatan stop for some reason we took very few pictures and minimal video. The tubing experience was a lot of fun and certainly something different than just a tour of some specific place.
