Day 14 Friday - 07/04/06 Up at 6am to go to the Tropical Cloud Forest and a very small towñ called Mindi, where I tubed (a collection of inner tubes tied together to form a raft and you hang onto ropes) down the Mindo River, it was only a small river but very fast flowing helped by the torrential rain, freezing but great fun, my guide came with me even though she didn't have a change of clothes, so we both got drenched ;o) Visited a butterfly santuary and then onto a restaurant with about 100 hummingbirds in the gardens, which was amazing to see them hover. Came back via the volcano craters but couldn't see anything as it was so cloudy!!! There we lots of land slides on the roads there and back, so not a great place to drive when it's raining in the mountains, plus they are crazy drivers in old bangers with spoilers on the back, but they do have some good cars, as have seen loads of Explorer 4x4......... Another fab day xxx
