Horseback riding and canoeing

The rest of our time in the jungle was much tamer, we went horsback riding one day...very hot and a little painful but very fun. We rode through the little village close by to a small set of waterfalls..the limestone bedrock makes wonderful formations....but I've never seen so many dogs, every property has at least two and usually four.

The next day was canoeing down the jungle river...very cool..we saw the tail of a VERY large iguana sunning iteself on a rock but it ran off pretty fast, crashing through the underbrush.
We stopped for lunch a very quaint restraunt/lodge...it had stilt cabana with thatch rooves and nice hammock views of the jungle...very rustic. The main part was very much out of a beach/travelling movie, all small,handcut trees. It was easter weekend so the expat owner had let the staff go, but he cooked us up something quick and we had an excellent talk about belize and it's government/development.
