Mangrove roots

Here is a closer view of a tangled thicket of mangrove roots. Monkeys can traverse them, crabs walk up them, but humans would find them impassable. Gliding past them on a boat or paddling by in a kayak is the only way to see them.

Several people left comments during the last few days that these views of the estuary from a boat reminded them of the Jungle Cruise ride at Disneyland or Disneyworld. That is similar to the experience of cruising through the Tamarindo Estuary or, particularly, the wildlife trips in Palo Verde National Park, except the animals are real, and the guide does not maintain a banter of corny jokes and puns.

This week we are showing photos of Dubrovnik on the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

a bit overwhelming, like a maze

But the corny jokes are so much fun especially when you get a heckler on your boat! This does look like a better ride though. I'm still worried about the critters hiding in there!
