Rainforest home

This is my pad for the next few days! It's a cabin on an organic fruit farm, so not as isolated as it looks - I can hear voices in the distance and a lot of chicken puk pukaw-ing. They are part of the WWOOF scheme (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) so there are a few people volunteering here. They don't get as posh a place 🙂

The (dozens? of) coqui frogs (they shout coo kee!) are really loud at night, but it's quite a friendly sound and it beats dumpsters being emptied and engines being revved and sirens wailing. I'm a little creeped out by the insects (uh ho, a couple of cockroaches, I'd forgotten they can fly - eugh!) but I reckon I'll settle in ok, and I knew 'critters' were part if the deal when i booked. In compensation, waking up here this morning and being able to see right out was amazing - put a big smile on my face, and I slept better than for a few nights.Read more
