Our last full day in Belize gave us some pretty good relaxing time in the morning followed by Central America's longest zip line in the afternoon.
This was actually our first day that we didn't have a morning adventure so we took our time getting up and heading to breakfast before getting some solid reading time in. I curled up on the porch and EDP headed down to the beach. After lunch, it was time to head over to the Bocawina Zip Line.
We had a big group - there were 9 of us and 4 guides. We got buckled into our harnesses and helmets and off we went to start climbing up into the jungle. After a test run (I think there was an escape hatch after it...) we climbed up some more. In total, there were 8 runs - all different lengths and speeds. The longest one was almost a half mile long and you could get up to speeds of 30 mph. It was a lot of fun, we got to see a lot of the jungle and I didn't lose either of my shoes! Though, at one point, we had to be dropped via rope about 15 feet. That wasn't so fun. I think every lady in our group screamed when the drop happened. I'm pretty sure I heard EDP laughing at me when I started freaking out. But the rest of it totally made up for that! What a great way to end our trip.
After zip lining, it was back for one last dinner and to pack up before heading out Sunday morning. We had an even smaller plane taking us back to Belize City - this one only held 8 passengers and while I needed a step stool to get off the plane, EDP was able to just step right onto the pavement. Two more flights saw us safely back to Toronto and now it's back to reality. And laundry.
