Monteverde Reserva

Tuesday March 18th

Breakfast at 7am at the farm then we get to bottle feed the baby cows. They have about 13 babies that need to be bottle fed right now and they are hungry, in a hurry and pretty strong. They drink a huge bottle of freshly "pumped" milk very quickly and we have to keep up the pace to refill bottles and feed the next one. Benjamin gets to feed the two youngest ones that were born 4 to 5 days ago and still have their umbilical cords and are a little less rough. They need a little more guidance on how to get the bottle but are also very hungry!

Today we are hiking in Monteverde Reserva, in the Cloud Forest. One short hike in the morning where we can see a few Quetzals hiding in the trees and after lunch, we go for a longer hike in the forest with amazing views and animal soundtrack.

On the way back, we stop at Stella's bakery to get some desserts for tonight, have a look at the women's coop and a local version of Whole Foods Market.

Diner at the farm.
