Sarah and Ian's Move to Ottawa

The story so far...having planned and booked a three month trip to South America, we were given a difficult decision to make when Ian was offered a job in Canada. After much hard thinking, we took the job, but get the best of both worlds as we still have two weeks in Brazil and Chile before arriving in Ottawa. We are now living in Ottawa and enjoying the big adventure of living somewhere new. This is the story of our experience...

Room with a view

We finally managed to get to Bellavista Cloud Forest today! We are staying in 'The Dome', which has panaromic views over the tree tops. It is charming yet simple accommodation and one of the most unusual places we have stayed. There are hundreds of hummingbirds buzzing around the grounds. We´ve also seen a turquoise jay, blue winged mountain tamager and a masked trogan.

We had a nice lunch talking to an English couple and then did our own walk through the cloud forest where we saw a plate-billed mountain toucan but not much else because of the clouds and rain. We still enjoyed the atmospheric scenery.

After dinner we played Cuban dominoes with an Australian father and son, whilst a heavy thunderstorm raged outside.
