... get a break from it. The plan is to stop at the ATM first, next to the Bakery to pick up a Flan for the Blue Parrot and then Eldon's Grocery store in French Harbour, at most we will be a couple of hours; sounds simple enough... With a cigarette ...

... like usual, we would take them to feed the animals who looked starved.  In the mini zoo they had two sad looking monkeys and a parrot, who I am sure said "hola, ven aqui" (hello, come here) when I went over with my unwanted plantain treats.  He ...

... we get back to the rocks, and take our crampons off (is decramp the right term?), we were joined by a brave Kea, a type of parrot native to the South Island. Becs tells us that they are pretty smart, and recalls a story about one of the winged menaces ...

... then the next day, when the birdwatchers have left, some ignorant tourist spots the Quetzal and rants away about spending 45 minutes of their precious time looking at some stupid parrot. "Where's the fu.... monkeys you promised me, the time is almost ...

... of 'U-S-A, U-S-A', we headed for our table. After a starter of crab tempura, it was a main course of steak and blue-nose parrot fish. For afters we had a platter of five mini-desserts from the menu, not forgetting the obligatory bottle of Aussie ...

... and the cayes. Snorkelled through some of the best coral in the world, unbelizable diversity of fish, huge, small, multicoloured, parrot fish, even scary barracuda. Snorkelled Shark-Ray alley and fed these table sized Rays like puppy dogs who loved a ...

... about seeing snakes, pythons, black-red belly somethings, etc. Luckily, we saw no snakes. We did see the remains of a parrot vs. snake encounter, however...and it was pretty obvious that the snake won!! We also learned that the Blue ...

... in and out of each other. Stopping at a tunnel to wait for our chance to go, we were greeted by a handful of Keas - a parrot known only to New Zealand - they are friendly and somewhat irritating but enjoy hitchhiking on top of cars. On our way ...

... and simple to use. (there´s a hot tap, and the more you turn it, the faster and hotter the water comes out).  There´s a parrot somewhere in the hotel too, how cool is that:)   Anyway, lets bring the rest quickly up to date.   We ate ...

... so far and dry, almost desert-y. Here we did an amazing night dive at the USS Liberty wreck and saw lots of huge bumpheaded parrot fish and other critters. As always, our favorite part of the night davies is when you turn off your torch and wave your ...

... I'd say it felt like an acid trip, but I'd be guessing. we stopped for water at a random shop built into a house. A resident parrot resided as a guard dog and kept a close eye on us. After purchasing much water and Popsicles, the girl escorted us into her ...

... on the East side of the island. There is the odd Hawksbill Turtle or 2, and many big threatening Barracudas. If it’s not the Parrot Fish munching on the coral, maybe it’s the Seahorse and his friend, Mr Bat Fish, possibly the Frog Fish, who ...

... having a shower i could hear someone calling out to me from above and whistling, later i looked up to see the resident green parrot perving on me in the shower. Naughty bird. There were some lovely dogs around too which we always like. Also loads of ...

... into the main town to get a feel for something more Thai. I had same great fun snorkeling and amongst others saw a giant parrot fish and three squid. I got a bit rattled when I saw this huge scary looking fish on the bottom with a sucking cleaning ...

... gold rush days and many are still standing and are suitably renovated. One tourist arrived on a motorcycle with a side car and a parrot cage attached, drawing a fair bit of attention. Lunch on the deck at Sourdough Joe's Restaurant was fun and good. ...

... were walking through undergrowth but our paranoia from the snake incident had worn off a bit by now. As well as the snake, we saw red parrot, some other birds, skinks and leeches - more of these than I would have liked. When we got back to the van I was ...

... was a portly man with a grey beard, salty British accent and a likin' for his drink. I guess the peg legs, hook hands and pet parrot on the shoulder days are just a thing of the Oceans past. As he shook my paw with a firm sailors grip, he said with ...

... , owls, cranes and birds of prey all doing tricks, which was quite surprising as I although I would have expected the likes of a parrot to be well trained I wouldn't have said the same about a crane.  But they were all great.  We also went in ...
