After breakfast and blogging we headed back to the room. There are two large dead trees that obscure our view. There was a huge iguana sunbathing on a branch of the left hand tree. He made for some great photos. The right hand tree is home to a pair of parakeets who must be nesting in a hole in the trunk.
The howler monkeys were in the tree over our room. Again I got some great shots. The photo album from this trip is going to be monkey-tastic!
While Amber had a snooze on the sunlounger, I took a half hour stroll up the hill. It's interesting that here too there are a lot of houses being built and sold. According to Lonely Planet it's mostly North Americans moving down here to retire and enjoy 'sophisticated jungle living', but I have my money on a Swiss takeover. The lodge down the road is called Casa Suiza...
Didn't see much on my walk: Some woodpeckers, a hummingbird or two, a big iguana (we played hide and seek) and a Sceloporus lizard, who refused to be photographed.
Next up is a dip in the pool and then we have to venture out to find an ATM and some lunch. I'm keen to hit the beach for a bit and then later on watch the brown pelicans dive for fish in the river mouth.
