We stayed in a Bella's hostel, and continued to make colorful friends. Amidore was a local Maya who hung around the hostel and close friends with the manager. He fell madly in love with Sara, and would stare at her for uncomfortable periods of time. I decided to use this opportunity to learn a bit about local libations. His drink of choice was tropical brandy and milk. Tropical brandy is actually a rum according to him, but grapes are used to make it. He referred to it as the "grape that scrapes".
Amidore overserved himself that evening, but I had to admit that the "grape that scrapes" was delicious with milk.
The next morning we did a tour of Actun Tunichil Muknal. The cave was a sacred sight of the Mayan. We swam through the entrance and various sections and scrambled up boulders. If there are any international caving rules on safety, I am quite sure we broke them. But it was absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately cameras are not allowed in the cave because a tourist dropped his camera through an ancient skull in 2012.
The folowing morning we spent some time at a local swimming hole. It happened to have all the waterfalls.
