Last day in Tortuguero

Today we got up early and went on a wildlife boat trip at 5:45am. It was worth it as we saw a lot of animals and birds, including more 3-toed sloths (the 2-toed variety has eluded us so far), . Here are a selection of photos from the trip, howler and spider monkeys, iguanas, baslisk lizards, parrots, more species of toucans, and the highlight was a caiman (S.American crocodile). Solana really wanted to see a caiman and she was not too happy about getting up so early, so it made her happy! This afternoon Laura and I borrowed a kayak from the hotel and went on our own little boat trip - I was so busy trying to concentrate on staying afloat in the kayak that I didn't spot much wildlife but the scenery was great! Thanks to all of you who have asked about Laura - I am pleased to report that she is now fully recovered.Read more
