Sat. 4/2/2016. A day of walking and croc hunting. You know I've tried for weeks to find crocs in the mangroves behind Paradise Village in my kayak with no success, and we tried when Darren and his family were cruising with us down in Tenacatita by taking our dinghy and kayaks through the jungle estuary with no success. So this time we were determined And took the Rio Tovara panga tour through miles of mangrove to the Cocodillos reserve and up to a fresh water spring for a cool refreshing swim and late lunch. It certainly was more than ever expected. We had a great naturalist (panga driver) who was fun and every knowledgeable.
This sign was on a stake and wire fence just below the swimming hole at the spring.
Also saw a o
range crested night heron, blue heron and black tailed hawk. After the panga tour we walked up to the Old Church, which the poem The Bells of San Blas was written about by Longellow. http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/180984Further up the hill was an old fort and museum overlooking the town.
Looking down on the town.
While looking for a shrimp dinner we got a picture of the entrance to the harbor with much less surf than yesterday.
I might add we got to experience the infamous bitting jejenes around sunset. "No see ums "
