After classes everybody piled into a big blue bus. Then during the next hour and a half we slept, hung out and relaxed. When we arrived in Lol-Tún we walked down a flight of stairs into a deep dark creep crawly cave. We then joined another group and followed a tour guide who explained all of the interesting artifacts of the caves. However we only had enough time to explore 2 of the 7 km of the caves learning about Mayan history and culture. The caves were tall and had different textured rocks with many holes on the walls and ceilings. It was also slippery inside and a couple people fell on their butts. Bats swooped down in the caves and frighten some people. At the end of the walk there were huge holes in the ceiling that allowed the light to flood the area. After we walked back up the stairs we had time to buy some refreshments and snacks. Then we got back on the bus and drove back to the school.
