Day 23,24, and 25 Jungle days

Day 23 we just hung out in San Ignacio and did some shopping. San Ignacio is much smaller compared to that of San Pedro. Also not many restaurants were open after 9 P.M. We were able to travel to almost all of the tourist stores in about an hour. It was very interesting talking to the locals around San Ignacio, one guy asked if we were from Belize. I felt that we actually didn't stand out like tourist. The prices for food, gifts, and fruit was a little cheaper than San Pedro and the people here did not take advantage of us as much. Oh and there is one hill in San Ignacio that was killer to walk up especially during the day, unlike San Pedro, there was not breeze there. Over all San Ignacio was a pretty neat little town;however, it was much different from San Pedro.

Day 24 was the day we left San Ignacio to head to the jungle for two days. We were on our way to Caves Branch not knowing what to expect from the jungle. Ah haha boy was it interesting, beautiful by day and scary by night. The grasshoppers were humongous. That night I was attacked by one at dinner, which was not fun. So the first night we stayed in the jungle some us got the bunkhouse, needless to say with all the roaches crawling up our arms, beds, and luggage, the scorpion and other unknow specimans we doubled up and slept with the other girls in the bungalow.

Day 25 I did not feel so great that morning so I just hung out at Caves Branch and enjoyed the jungle. The staff was so nice and friendly, so it was very pleasent hanging out with them. Also that day I got upgraded to a suit so I invited a few of the girls to stay the night with me. It was great two showers and no bugs. However, you could hear the jaguars, other unknow animals, and howler monkeys outside our windows that night which was a little creepy. Overall the jungle experience was not too bad during the day but a little creepy at night.
