For our last two nights, we stayed at Xandari. It’s close to the airport, and rather tranquil with just 24 villas. We got the nature lovers room that overlooks some trees.
The property has some trails and we went for a walk in the morning.
We did see another mot mot, which is on their logo. The best new bird was the long-tailed manakin, but we only got glimpses in the early morning.
We also saw a white-eared ground sparrow which sounded boring since it’s a sparrow, but had some nice color.
We did find another bird, a golden-crowned warbler which we didn’t try hard to photograph since we were looking for the manakin.
There was a woody woodpecker as well.
After birding, we relaxed a bit and then had some massages at the spa. Mike’s was wonderful. Chris felt like aliens were probing her body, but now she thinks maybe it was good for her and she’ll feel better tomorrow. With reflexology you can never tell what you will get. Either she will have bruises on the bottom of her feet and need a cart at the airport or will feel like a million bucks.
I’d be safe and ‘cool’ if I was in LA. 🎼🎼 California dreaming’
This nature lovers room has no AC - a big domed ceiling with a fan instead. If you stay away from home long enough, returning looks pretty special. No bugs - at least when we departed our home 😂, good USA temperature control - safe drinking water - reliable favorite pillows. I wonder how long it will take us to stop getting up at four am for birding.
