Apparently this sort of bird´s head-egg arrangement only occurs once in a million years. Cool no?

Was actually really cool relaxing in that lovely warm water...the only downside was our cook Marta wasn´t allowed to serve us breakfast in the pool :-)

These were at about 5000 metres above sea level. So it was bloody freezing outside. And once you get in the water is sooo loovely warm. But getting out is a bitch. I got a head rush so bad, going from warm water to near 0 degrees almost naked, that I had to sit down for a bit..

The flamingoes have all ignored the sign the park wardens put up so kindly. You can see the shit floating all around the sign.
Danger!Danger!

Apparently the area around these bottles has been mined. This is why all the flamingoes stay far away. Smart dudes.
