I slept pretty well under the bed net in the rainforest last night. As usual, I awoke early to prepare to look for birds. We had requested to go on a 6am bird walk this morning, so I prepared for that: bug spray, sunscreen and boots for the muddy road. Jeremy, the guide, led Stephanie and I and three others down the very rocky road we had come up yesterday after the car was unstuck. We saw a few new birds.
After 90 minutes we returned and ate breakfast in the dining room. The other guests eating with us included three Germans, a man from the Netherlands and his Canadian girlfriend.
Then at 9:30, we joined Jeremy again for a 3-hour nature walk on a trail on the grounds. It was a lot of steep trails, with Jeremy always leading and looking for snakes. There are venomous snakes here, including the aggressive and deadly fer-de-lance (terciopelo in Spanish), so we were happy to let him go first. But we didn’t see any snakes. Mostly frogs, birds, and trees that Jeremy explained for us.
Stephanie and I were the only ones at lunch, which is an extra charge outside of included meals. Then we took advantage of the wifi being available and few people around to do some internet stuff, including this blog. We have nothing else planned for the day except dinner and, hopefully, another restful night in our cabins.
