Tues, 2 Mar
Eddi and I are beginning to firm up our plans for the rest of our stay here. Tomorrow we'll tour the cave, then Thurs morning, we'll leave for Flores, Guatemala. well spend one day at Tikal, one of the largest Maya civilizations. so we decided to spend today at Chaa Creek, since we're already feeling the threat of a limited time here at this paradise. here are some photos of this beautiful retreat
there are 23 cottage rooms in several separate dwelling dispersed among the beautiful settings.
the Tree Top Suites
the Orchard Villa
the dining room where we are very privileged to eat our evening meal. we eat breakfast and lunch with the 'staff' in a separate location, with a separate, very different menu :)
the pool and spa area
The Macal River Camp has 10 casitas with porches and hammocks for the more rustic-minded (and budget conscious) visitor, ... shared bathroom facilities. they have their own dining room apart from the main lodge area.
the horse stables
round em up
another interesting tree, the Give and Take Tree gets its name from the thorns, ... and they are over 3in long and nasty !!!!!
the thorns "Give" a very stinging cut but their are portions of the plant provide a remedy that "Take" away bleeding, infection, and pain. it grows 12-18ft. when the trunk is stripped of it's thorns it is used to make poles for the walls of homes and palapas. the leaves are also tied together to make brooms.
a lot of these Lobster Claw flowers are blooming here right now. they are related to the banana tree, and grow in swamps, waterways, and wet forests ... they are so bright and colorful --and so tempting to photograph! ...
