This morning we got up at 5:45am and set off into the private nature reserve in the hopes of seeing some wildlife. To be honest I have a feeling the dry season is great for seeing birds and monkeys, but not so great for much else. Hence we saw plenty of hummingbirds, a nice hawk sunning his wings, a few skinks and lots of rainbow crabs (a lot of mangrove trees due to the saline water). The best sighting had to be a couple of troops of howler monkeys, one of which included two tiny babies that were, quite frankly, adorable.
Funny thing is, we got back from our 2 hour hike in the forest and there is a group of howlers in the hotel's mango tree! We could have saved ourselves the effort. Still nice to get a good walk in before breakfast. Can't believe it's only 9:30am.
