We visited a very impressive aviary on one of the Rosario
Islands. It was hidden deep in the bush and we would not have found it
ourselves without the help of our delightful guide Corre
Daviste.....below. As little boys everywhere will do, he proceeded
to bang the cages and tease the birds. The baby chicken he is holding ran
across our path out of somebody's smallholding. He instantly scooped it up
and took it home to his Mama. The aviary had an amazing collection of
exotic birds....one beedy eyed example below. We were puzzled as to
who owned or funded it as there was no entry fee.....perhaps a drug lord's
private aviary? Yet again we wished we could speak spanish.
  The only time Michael ever wears
marigolds! He took the oportunity of relatively calm and clear water
to give Simanderal's bottom a bit of a scrub, badly needed after the marina in
Cartagena.
  We caught this fish....some sort of
tuna, still trying to identify.....between The Rosarions & San
Bernardos. It was very tasty and just the right size for
two.
