Beautiful Birds in the Garden of our Hotel

| Mot-Mots wag their tails, possibly to warn one another of predators. |

Dining at our hotel

| We ate several meals in the hotel, and all were very good. The basil in this salad was remarkable! |
Tomorrow our tour will be taking us to a much more remote site to search for much more exotic birds. If I have the time, the energy, and the internet access to post from there, I will, but this may be my last post for a while.

Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a safe and happy weekend. Best wishes for a Happy New Year! PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
If I am not mistaken you are staying at the Bougainvillea Hotel. Great place to start and end a tour. I have stayed there four times and always had a great experience. All the best for 2024. David
