We woke up a reasonable hour, made coffee, and vacation began. I
finished up the bikes, we had an excellent breakfast but then, unfortunately,
the clouds, and with them the rain, rolled in. Bummer.
But, not all was
lost. As I mentioned,
the resort is located in a natural park, with lots
of things to photograph. They have an aviary with toucans and macaws, a
butterfly hall, sloths, and jungle cats. We walked around the
property admiring the amazing colors in nature, and then after lunch we
made a break for it. There was a coffee plantation that offered tours
not to far from where we were so took a chance on the weather and went
on the tour.

It was a good bet because while very windy, the weather was
otherwise clear and sunny at the
Doka Coffee Plantation. The tour was
very good and our guide, Omar, peeled back the layers of both the coffee
cherry and the coffee industry. The samples were great too!
Here is only a sampling of some of the pics from the day (a few hundred between Jean and I). I'll have more posted at a later date with themes (birds, butterflies, etc). Take these for now...

We got back to our room, went to dinner, chillaxed by the fire, and another day was in the bag.

Amazing photos! You and Jean are both great at getting that right shot. So no riding yet. LOL. Rain will definitely do that. If you would have riden, you wouldn't have gotten those vivid pics. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy!
