Day Six: Mopan River and Che Chem Ha Cave

Morning walk to Calla Creek Village, crossing a very long swinging bridge on the lovely Mopan River (no crocs in sight). Later, we descended deep into the ten levels of the Che Chem Ha Cave with tour guide William - who had a combination of cool accents including Boston, British, and Creole Lisp.  As we stepped into the small ornate opening, William remarks, "I smell a reptile." Boy, the hairs on my arms certainly stood up! SUCH cool ancient history and the largest collection of Mayan pots, bats, and even the type of cave spider that suffered the Crutiatus Curse in Harry Potter!
