Last Full Day and Canoeing By Moonlight

Last Full day

We were allowed to sleep in this morning and I tried breakfast as it was our last full day.  I had wonderful coffee and cheese bread.

We went for a Morning paddle which was nice because it was still cool.  Rob and Lisa photo-bombed my selfie... just kidding. I photo-bombed the photo I took of them:)

We paddled across the lake and back down the black creek.

Here's what we saw:

Wattled jacana

Limpkin (no photos)

Caimansx2-

Great kiskadee (no photo)

Ladder tail Nightjar (no photo)

Monkeys

Green kingfisher

Rufescent tiger heron

Capped heron (no photo)

Anhinga

no photos of:

Spix’s Guan

American pigmy kingfisher

Coraya wren

White chinned jacamar

Weaver birds

more, more, and still more Hoatzin

fungus, fungus, fungus

hyacinth flowers

other pretty flowers

We had a hike  through the forest on the way back.  This was kind of interesting as the walkway from the boat “dock” was simply a wooden walkway above the swamp.

Once we got to terra firma there was a path.  We went off road to see some monkeys which ran from us and we didn’t actually see anything.

On the way back we saw a  Black tailed Trogan (no photo)

the night frog again

and fungus, fungus, fungus

and some very pretty flowers, trees and medicinal tress and plants

and termite mounds on the trees

It was lovely to get back and get rid of the awful wellies

From the tower at the hotel we saw all the below, but no photos....:

Black vulture

Macaw

Giant cow birds

Blue grey tanenger

Woodpeckers

Slaty backed forest Falcon

Pedro knows shamans who can guide Iowasca experiences, so something to pursue for Chris.

Before dinner I had a nice rest on my hammock and watched the rain come in and looked at the orchids

Got the pack wrapped and am very glad I saved the original plastic wrap because they didn’t have any here- all we needed to do was tape up the ends.

We met for one last drinks and dinner

Dinner included cheese pizza

All looking good for my long travel day tomorrow .
