Bonito

We had two full days in Bonito. The first day was brilliant, while the second day was a complete washout.

The first day began with a visit to a site where macaw birds hang out. Macaws are some of the most beautiful birds in the world and it is not easy to see them close up. But at this sink hole, they have established nests and as a result, it was possible to get good pictures of them flying around.

But the major activity of the day was snokelling down a small creek. It is spring fed and because of the nature of the water, it is absolutely clear. And so we went snokelling down this creek, able to a wide variety and amazing amount of fish. It was like swimming through an aquarium. (unfortunately no pictures of this experience because my camera doesn´t go underwater.)

At the end of the snokelling, it began to rain. And it rained and rained for the next 24 hours. One thunderstorm after another, with heavy downpours. As I mentioned before, this is the dry season. It rarely rains in a couple of months, let alone one thunderstorm. Because of the rain, all the activities of the second day were cancelled. Thankfully, we were at a hostel and not in tents.
