Back to Rondo

Some of you might have read my account of last time we went as a family to the Retreat center in Rondo, truly an amazing place. It is basically and few cottages with luxurious english garden type landscaping in the middle of the tropical rain forest. The best of both worlds, something for the adventurer (dad) and the sit and read a book vacationer (mom). Last time we were there dad and I hiked a few miles to the Yala river. This time we found out about a bat cave a few miles into the forest. It was truly an amazing hike. We found the cave....originally a mine shaft of some sort. Unfortunately we didn't have good flashlights so these were my best shots of the fruitbats that covered the roof of the cave.

We then hiked just a little further to the top of a very steep hill and saw that we were basically in the middle of the rainforest. Here are some awesome shots of that.
