Holiday!
June 24th, 2008 , 0:53
And we are on holiday! Finally. Woke up after a restless night’s sleep – the rainforest is a noisy place and the birds wake up early. So we weren’t feeling 100% today. Skipped the orientation walk and will do that tomorrow. The plan for the day was to find out what trips we could do and sit on the veranda and watch things. So that’s what we did.
We are now planned to see : on Tuesday the orientation walk and Caroni Swamp to see the scarlet ibis (hopefully even some spectacled caimans and boas); Wednesday more sitting on the veranda and possibly swimming in the pool (shall have to include a photo); Thursday oilbird caves in the morning and off to turtle watch in the evening. Friday we’re off to Port of Spain for the day (possibly just laying around the Hilton if the turtle watching goes on to the wee hours) then off home Saturday.
Sitting on the veranda was actually much more interesting than it sounds. There are bird feeding stations and we saw loads of different types of birds, lizards, and even agouti! We are at the Asa Wright Centre which is lovely and Joe is uploading photos of birds and landscapes to his Panoramio site.
