Up and up to the cloud forest
We spotted a member of the frog chorus on the way back to the room last night
The view from the cabin this morning was gorgeous and a Scarlet Macaw flew over after breakfast (not on photo!)
It was another long drive bumping back to the coast road
Then joining the trucks labouring up the Pan American highway into the mountains. The road climbs to over 3400 metres through the clouds and the temperature dropped from 34 C on the coast to 9 C at the top.
We found a back of beyond cafe to have lunch - no menu, no choice!
Unfortunately I had a horrible allergic reaction to something, probably all the dust swirling in the car’s air conditioning, and couldn’t stop sneezing all the way so had to have a long snooze when we got to the lodge. My usual happy hiking will have to wait until tomorrow.
Trogon Lodge is a remote mountain retreat perched at 2400 metres in a river valley.
