  I don't know if it managed to open it. But what amazed me is that this was only meters from the beach, and maybe 200 meters from the campsite. Almost all the people there just spent their days napping in a hamac or at the beach, and seemed to have no appreciation for the biodiversity that surrounded them... Posted 9 years ago

    Yes, not all people share our lovely hobby. It's why we switched from group journeys to private wildlife tours just for the both of us. Posted 9 years ago
