We saw a large male ostrich, and were even given the opportunity to feed some. They were softer than I thought, they'd be. Bill and JB stood on an ostrich egg to demonstrate the strength of the egg. The most interesting thing about the tour, for me, was how our tour guide was fluent in Dutch, English, and Spanish. He would explain one aspect of the tour in Dutch, then repeat the exact same information in English, and then a third time in Spanish. It was amazing!
After the tour of the ostrich farm, we visited the
One of the first signs we saw...warning us not to touch the fruits that were falling from the surrounding trees. Here again, our guide spoke Dutch, English, and Spanish.
It was against the rules to shoot any pictures inside the cave until we reached a designated photo spot. It seems there are some camera shy bats in the cave. So I was good, and waited until I was told I could take some pictures.
Remember those poisonous fruits I just warned you about? Here is an iguana EATING one of them. I guess the are not toxic to iguana...
We still had some daylight to kill, and Bill had a cigar, so we headed to the beach nearest our hotel, Playa Kalki. It was a great beach, with a little bar and grill, lounge chairs, sandy shore. Beautiful.
It also had iguanas! JB tried to feed one, but it just ran away.
So she searched for shells on the beach.
Then we went back to our hotel and played some seriously rousing games of Magic the Gathering.

Wow, what great fun. Port stops on a cruise are such that you make a selection of what you want to do and then that ends up being very hurried as you must meet the boarding time. Strange thing, they don't wait for you!
Oh my! JB's eyes are so gorgeous! She is an island princess.
