Yesterday the guide called around to acquaintances and arranged a spot where a Quetzal is likely to be seen. At a number of large fruit trees another hotel has made an easy approach route for the quetzals. No feeding place, but just a comfortable waiting bar with photogenic moss and bromeliads. Later we bird on their terrain and again on the feeders of our hotel. I have now been given nice warm blankets. The next day the guide takes me to a clinic where I get strong and more effective medication. I should have done that earlier. So day 8 is missing.
