Day 6 The Cloud Forest, Monteverde, Costa Rica





Today saw us up bright and early to have an organised trek around the Cloud Forest in Monteverde. So glad we had a guide or we would have missed so much. We saw the highly endangered Costa Rican Quetsal; a Central American Robin which made a really weird noise, like a squeaky door closing. We saw an abundance of humming birds which were incredible, their wings were so noisy. We are now back at the Trapp Family Lodge, which is a replica of the Alpine lodges in Austria. It is much cooler up here in the Cloud Forest and haven't needed a fan or air conditioning, which is just as well as our room doesn't have either! We were, however offered a heater last night, but bravely managed to do without! We have the rest of the day to relax before heading off to Guanacasta on the North West coast early tomorrow.
