Caves Branch

Hello Everyone! We are back form our little get away. What a wonderful time we had!! So I have a lot to share and a lot of photos so I will try to post them over the next few days as I find time. So lets start at the beginning. We stayed at Ian Anderson's Caves Branch Adventure Co. and Jungle Lodge. (cavesbranch.com) The first night we stayed in a tree house. The last two nights were in a suite. They even have a bunk house so there is a wide variety of prices.
Here we go:

The BarThe Dining RoomLunchBeautiful plants everywhere!Its the dry season, the Caves Branch River is dry! Once the rain starts here in the next week, the big wave of water will come!They say someone will try to run ahead of it, like the running of the bulls. The owners will blow a horn and everyone will come to watch it!A tree House tucked in the jungleComing down into our houseFrom the front door is the "living room" that can sleep 4A look up the steps to the king size bedLooking out the screen windows. The birds and bugs make noise all night. No AC, just fans. It was so nice!The bathroom. Toilet on the other side of this wallA tree growing threw the large showerThis is leaving the sitting room and looking at the outdoor showerThe water fills the bucket that has holes in the bottom. They have cold water and "warm". No waters like back at home. I believe the sun heats the water. It was HOT!Beautiful viewNight 2 and 3 were here in the Suite 8. Very in the jungleFrom the front door looking back to the bedroom. That is the door to the bathroom. It has indoor pluming...shower, sink etc.The front sitting roomThe bed roomLooking forward. Notice the bathroom wall is all open air. The only electricity in this room was for the big ceiling fan. So there are oil laps to light the room. They are remodeling the rooms this summer.

Its about an hour drive to Caves Branch for our place in Hopkins. SO its a great little get away and a great place to put on you list to stay if you are looking for GREAT ADVENTURES Day trips!

So that is posting 1 of our adventures. To come will be Horseback riding, tortilla making, Guatemala and Tikal the Mayan Ruins.
