Burritoitos

Today we were up reasonably early to go on our canopy walk We caught a mini-bus to a private reserve called Selvatura, but not before spending a small fortune on a delicious breakfast of fresh muesli and yogurt and a vanilla latte. At Selvatura they have zipline tours, walking tours and a few other things. The most popular was the zipline but we wanted to see some animals so we ecided on the walk (plus it is cheaper). It is made up of a series of trails and bridges that are in the upper canopy of the jungle. The jungle, actually a cloud forest, is beautiful from the ground up to the canopy. It is certainly a different perspective from the top.
Walking around we didn't see much wildlife unfortunatly. We saw a few hummingbirds, butterflies, a colourful slug and a squirrel. We wern't sure if it was the noise from the zipline users or the big group of obnoxious and loud frenchies walking in front of us. We should have just done the zipline and had some adventure. Oh well, it really was a beautiful walk though.

After the walk we went into the hummingbird garden where there are about 20 hummingbird feeders set up. There are so many hummingbirds there. They are fantastic, some were tiny and green others had a blue chest and a purple head and the largest was almost all blue. We sat and watched the birds and ate some corn nuts for quite while. The noise that their little wings make, flapping so quickly, was incredibly loud.

As we waited for the bus we had a cup of tea in the restaurant. In the garden out the front of the restaurant we found a small lizard that I picked up and held for a while. It was like a small guana or something. It would jump from one hand to another and then jumped on my arm and crawled up onto my head for a look.

Our bus came and we made our way back to town. We had a small lunch at the coffee shop. It wasn't meant to be small but the burritos must have been the smallest on earth. They were tasty though in a kind of pizza sauce kind of way.

Well it was that time again so we played some speed and had some more Rostov. We enjoyed the same dinner as last night (when you are on a good thing...) and off to bed we went, just as silly as last night.
