las olas suite
After several hours on the bus, we finally arrived at Las Olas Resort in Playa Barqueta.
Milking Cinderella
Marlise returns to her swiss roots and tries to milk "Cinderella" the jersey cow.
The Quetzales Cabin
It wasn't until the following day that we really knew what the cabin looked like. Take a peek inside.
In search of Quetzales
We spent two hours searching for the Quetzal. Our guide spotted one at the end of the hike which Marlise saw through the telescope. Unfortunately it flew away before Ben could observe it. So is life! Note from Marlise "It was the coolest bird I have ever seen".
Bird watching
This was our first (and probably our last) birdwatching experience. Notice the guide's bird call. By the end of the hike we had both mastered the Quetzal whistle.
Waiting for the Quincayu
No, we are not trying to make our own low budged horror movie. Void of electricity, we waited patiently for the beloved Quincayu ( a cross between a koala bear and lemur).
Road to the cabin
While eating dinner, the owner's wife begged us to stay in one of their cabins located in the jungle.
Mid-dessert we grabbed our bags and headed for the hills.
Dinner at Quetzales
Dinner at the Quetzales Lodge. Check out the bushels of bananas in the background.
