Leaving the lakes, I head east into tropical jungle where the maniacal shrieks and growls of howler monkeys echo through the tree canopy. This area is still quite populated and cleared areas of the jungle, both large and small, are given over to coffee and banana cultivation and cattle.
Misty mountains stretching in the distance... and into Guatemala.
More christmas stocking nest - I love these birds.
Two rivers meet: the clear blue one comes from intact jungle, the muddy brown one comes from disturbed land and is carrying a load of eroded soil.
The rivers are rising at the onset of the wet season.
A bare tree draped with bare vines.
Wild colours in the wilderness.
The wet season has definitely begun – rain falls, heavily, and the rivers are muddy and full.
A cloud building as the sun sets. There is a lot of water in that cloud, I discover.

At last I’ve found out how to send you a message via blog. The reason is that Julie is staying with me for a couple of days on her journey home from Brisbane and Sydney and we’ve been looking at your blog together. I’ve been reading it on and off, but don’t have much time for emails these days. You are in a very different world. I could be envious of you but know that it is pretty tough at times as well as fascinating and beautiful. I love the photos and the captions that link them together and to the text.
That’s enough for a first experiment with blog comment. Travel well Anna – and safely.
Nicky
