Barton Creek Cave gets another great write up, this time in escapingabroad.com.  They uploaded a cool video of entering the cave too.

 

"We were suited up with safety helmets, lights and life jackets and began are journey into the darkness.  This cave is considered one of the largest in the world, estimated to be over 4 and a half miles long and in some places 100 feet tall. It is also filled with a rich and mysterious history as it was used by the Mayans who believed caves to be entrances into the ‘underworld.’  Evidence of Mayan use was left behind in artifacts and the remains of at least 28 discovered bodies inside."

The Jubilee is the royal canoe, and it's in La Ruta Maya

"Royal christening in Belize – a beer bottle and a canoe

 

Queen Elizabeth II christened the QE2 in 1967 with a bottle of champagne. When Prince Harry christened the Jubilee last week, named in honour of his grandmother’s Diamond Jubilee, or 60th anniversary of occupying the throne, he used a bottle of beer, according to the canoe’s builder, Chaa Creek owner Mick Fleming.

 

But the beer was Beliken, the country is Belize, and the Jubilee is a canoe, so it was perfectly fitting."
