This morning I hopped in a five seater plane with some of my new friends and flew over The Great Blue Hole.
It is a giant sinkhole off of the coast of Belize. It is the largest formation of its kind in the world. I’m really glad I had the time to see it. It was really, really BLUE! You are Always in my Prayers. Love Mom. P.S. the flight on the small plane was fun too😄

It has a diameter of 318 m...to give you an idea the white dot near the edge is a boat.

Some research says 60 000 years. I do know that it became quite famous in the early 70’s when diver Jacques Cousteau(a famous diver) did a tv program on it.

Scuba divers go in about 40 m but will never reach the bottom.

The great blue hole looks amazing. Thanks for showing the photo. How long was the ride on the five seater plane. What was the weirdest thing you’ve eaten on the trip so far. What was the best thing you’ve eaten on the trip so far.

We were just over an hour on the five seater plane. It travels pretty low so as well as the blue hole you could see a ship wreck and the coral reef.
