OK here we are blogging from the Aviarios Del Caribe Sloth Sanctuary, and we are resting a lot as you might imagine.
But it's not all play and no work you know. We have to be up by 0600 to start the cleaning and room service duties that these injured and orphaned perezosos have grown accustomed to and need after the drama in their lives.
There are nearly 100 sloths that reside here at Aviarios and they all need feeding, twice a day.

Humans do sword swallowing, sloths do bean swallowing... (pip just doing her sloth thing)
Keep watching if you want to see more sloth antics ;0)))))

Hi Anna,
ReplyDeleteThe Sloths are cute especially the babies.
How was your trip to London?
Been looking at your blog periodically too, like shots of the hostel parroquia; and hope the bike is standing upto the trials you put it through.
Hope you also recovered from drinking the tap water in Cuba.
Good luck with your travels and keep in touch as and when.
Buen suerte,
Paul and Siobhan
