A wonderful trip on the Pacific coast gave great opportunities for birdspotting and we enjoyed an amazing breakfast watching toucans, humming birds and scarlet macaws (although the macaws were in a nearby tree not on the bird table)!
So far we've had many close encounters with wild life - most brilliant but some not so good! Such as the time I put on the trousers I'd worn last when walking in a very wet jungle only to find a black scorpion 1.5inches long, on the bottom of my trouser leg! Dave didn't know what was happenning as I screamed whilst rapidly taking off my trousers - I was so frightened it would sting me! Once he realised what was going on he threw the trousers outside and rushed, not to comfort me but to get his camera! Unfortunately the scorpion had taken the opportunity to rush for freedom so the photo opportunity was missed!
Other local residents have not been so shy, including this beautiful frog who stayed around whilst we enjoyed a long evening glass of wine, and my favourite - a sweet geko who wasn't at all worried about either us or the camera and decided to make himself at home on Dave's glass.
