Roy's Zancudo Lodge Golfito

... off a stream of the choicest curse and swear words, Tourets Syndrome style and quickly backed up a bit, once again that frozen feeling came over me, the hairs were standing up on my arms and I was feeling dizzy. Once again Alan was edging nearer to the godforsaken thing taking pictures. He had to gently prod it to get it moving along and this thing wasnt too happy about it, I saw its tongue flikering quickly but it slid off giving us enough room to scuttle past. Alan is convinced ...

... to strike and the third one gets bit. and i am walking third through the bush whacking trail. so i slipped back to fourth. we start climbing down and we are going at slopes that are super crazy. kat almost slides into a golden morph or an eyelash viper. if biten by that its super game over. i hang on to a tree and try to get a picture but my camera is stupid and doesnt work so i just look at it. its beautiful solid yellow-golden. i am about 5 feet ...

... large Toads... And finally a crab in the toilet bowl (Sadly I was unable to liberate him, so he got flushed down the bowl) Love the fish we eat: The diet is primarily based around fish dishes. Occasionally you will get Chicken. If, like Katy you are not a lover of fish, then you're in for a long week. Puddings: Highlight this week has been 3 tone Jelly. The red jelly base had a digestive biscuit in it, whole ...

... que íbamos a hacer estaba cerrado desde hacia 10 días pero nos hicimos los locos, la acampada estaba prohibida fuera de la estación de rangers pero decidimos romper el trayecto en dos y acampar ya que solo se podía andar en horas donde el sol no estuviese arriba, (los 22 primeros km eran de pura playa) y además había que controlar las mareas. Acerca del camino creo que las fotos hablan por si solas. Definitely one of the highlights of the trip, as the National Geographic defines as ...

... crazy without being able to run around, and is not allowed off the boat until Tonga. Any volunteers to bring him over? And WMD is almost ready to go. All the rain in Golfito hasn't been kind to her, and neither was a mass failing of all systems that could charge her batteries (coupled with an inept electrician), but with Javier's local knowledge and help, she is almost back in ship shape. With three people living full-time on the boat, there ...

... he is an avid and trained outdoorsman and guide. Although he has sailed nothing bigger than a sunfish, he has his own outdoor education company where he routinely takes groups of students on kayaking, biking, rafting, hiking, etc. trips. He knows how to read weather and how to treat poisonous ...

As soon as we arrived we already like the hostel. its was quiet and cute with our own room and lots of greenery. and not only that but there was $2 breakfasts of fruit and pancakes and $2 dinnner of amazing all you can eat spagetti!!! soo good!! so we relaxed that night and in the morning walked down to the beach, and what did we find but an amazing beach but its covered in tourists, umbrellas and people selling ...

... studies lizards for her PhD. She ended up catching all of the lizards (they are really fast) but I am sure that I contributed some how. It was a really fun project. We colored the dewlaps to see if two males would interact the same if the dewlaps were the wrong color. In the end, we only had 8 data points, so we couldn't really conclude anything, but it was still cool. After La Selva we headed to Cuerici - which is sub alpine tropical forest ...

... free trade zone, boui-boui locaux et investissements. Nous allons rester un jour ou deux ici et essayer de trouver une nouvelle pompe et s'aventurer dans le Golfito National Wildlife Refuge. Prochaine étape : Panama. Blue Water Sailing : exciting adventure or is it just boat maintenance in exotic locations? Before leaving Bahia de Ballena and setting off to our next port of call on Monday morning, we decided a little maintenance of the primary Genoa winches would be ...

Today I had gotten some directions to an alleged waterfall which I wanted to see. But first I was going to go into town and get 'brunch', check it out, and get some groceries. Despite Anna's assurance, the walk into Golfito was not half an hour but an hour and a half (small difference). By the time I got to the outskirts of the town I could have eaten the first medium sized local Golfitan who passed ...
