Tortuguero Canoe Tour

We woke up at 5:20am to meet our tour guide for a canoe tour. It was very early considering we had our turtle tour finish at 10pm the previous night (although there was a possibility of this being the later one and finishing at midnight, which would have meant less sleep).

These flower for one day a year apparently
This guy was quite hard to spot initially
This anhinga has to dry its feathers in the sun because they’re not as water resistant as other birds (although this means they can swim)
He’s very cool
