Birthday celebrations interupted by a Kinkajou and a dodgy tummy

'Skip' hit 60 on the 20th. The grand day was celebrated
at a restaurant called the Cosmic Crab on Carenero Island just across from where
we are anchored. We invited four good friends to share the occasion and were
greeted at the dock by a very friendly Golden Retriever called Mango. Nobody was
able to alight the dock without a welcome lick which contained considerably less
slobber than the gallons of the stuff we received from the two Rotweillers at
the Rana Azul Restaurant the previous Friday.
  The Cosmic Crab - a seafood restaurant of
course and
the famous Birthday Shirt back in action again.
We enjoyed a great three course meal costing just $7.95
(around £5 each). The proprietor then produced the star of the evening, a pet
Kinkajou otherwise called a honey bear in Central America. They are nocturnal
mammals living in the trees and are very rare and very very cute. It took an
instant fancy to the 'Admirals' head just above the right ear but refused to go
anywhere near Phil for some reason.
  and the surprise of the evening - a Kinkajou which
has an extremely long tongue and tail
  makes his move on the 'Admiral'
here
I come
  Now for some cleaning and
preening
and the other side
Having eaten and looked at the shop where they have all sorts
of 'arty' work for sale we headed back to Bocas Marina for 'Happy Hour'. But not
before snapping pics of a Stork acting like a weathervane and interesting
sunset.
  The stork is real
and so is the sunset!
This turned into not such a happy hour for the 'Birthday Boy'
who suffered a nasty bout of Montezuma's Revenge requiring
a hasty return to the boat to be near the 'you know what'!
Pleased to say he was up and bouncing around the following
morning but we never did trace exactly what caused the sudden attack of the
heeby jeebys and nobody else succumbed. The main money is on the breakfast
sausages which had been barbecued three days earlier but suspicion was
also aroused over the Birthday Carrot Cake which featured an interesting
topping created by her ladyship. Apparently desserts were never a strong aspect
of her culinary skills. But lets go with the sausages this time shall we
!!!!!!!!! He certainly won't forget his 60th in a hurry.
