We woke to howls of the monkeys in the trees around us, and small squirrel monkeys bouncing off the branches off the deck. Outside was a tucan and an osprey flying over head. After doing home schooling with Sean and some model building we headed out for the walk of the day. We wanted to see a 100 foot waterfall in the middle of the jungle. The walk down the road towards the point, we stopped at beaches, which are rock breaks, but to walk out of jungle under the palm trees, onto the dark sand, and out off the coast there were 4 surfers catching a good right break. We watched them for a while, we then walked on along the dirt road if you can call it that with the pot holes and rivers running through, but the birds and monkeys played above us. These massive trees with huge roots and then vines hanging down and many of the vines had blue flowers and red flowers. We then went off the road and walked down a trail which soon came into the river/ creek which we had to walk up the creek this ended up been more of challenge than we expected. Sean did very well as it crossed the fast running creek 4 times, and we climbed over bolders and rocks he did it all as we past small waterfalls as I pasts and lifted Alex up the creek until we arrived at the base of this 100 foot cliff with the water flowing over the top into a deep pool.

The setting of the walk and falls is deep in the jungle, trees towering above and again families of moneys playing in the trees above us.

It was a great walk, and many animals, and birds, the afternoon was identifying the animals, and exploring the area around the lodge needless to say the boys were exhausted especially Sean so the afternoon sleep was long.

This is an isolated part of the world different from the lodges in Africa as we are in the rain and tall trees, you do not have the open areas other than beaches. It is funny as the lodge runs on 12 volts with solar panels with a generator for the 110 v, so we find ourselves working like we do the boat conserving the power and the water is not hot, but it is nice.
