oday we explored the Mayan Ruins of Xunantunich. To get there we hand to cross the river by ferry that was cranked by hand, a few of the girls took turns in having a go at this. 
The ruins were huge and really impressive to still be there in reasonable condition after so many hundreds of years. 
It was hard work climbing to the top of the ruin, but it was worth it as the views were fantastic. We could see all around us for miles. Due to the bad weather over the few days before we arrived the river was rising fast so we had to get down from the top and leave quickly as the ferry would be closing shortly.
In the afternoon we were meant to go canoeing to some mayan caves but it was cancelled due to the height of the rivers. So we went to a dry cave instead, this meant we got to trek through some jungle before reaching the entrance to the cave. It was very hot walking to the cave but well worth it.
After caving we all went swimming in a waterfall to cool off before heading back to out hotel and going out for dinner in the evening.
