Costa Rica

Part sorted the photo issue. Here are a few to be going on with.

Just for fun here is another example of Costa Rican humour. Our tour guide comes out with these all the time!

"Two hunters are out in the jungle when one of them collapses. He doesn’t seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. In panic he gasps, “My friend is dead! What can I do?”

The operator says “Calm down. I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.”

There is a silence, then a shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says “Okay, now what?

iPad?, do you back up to the cloud?, that usually eases space issues. Unlike with Android that has expandable storage the iPad has what you started with ie 8/16/32gb etc memory but once it’s full it’s full. Apple usually offers more cloud space(to rent) as an answer Mickey Boy👍🏻

Can anything be done about the terrible jokes...?  

I just disabled the cloud yesterday on my iPad.  Now using the the pads own storage.  I think they wanted £0.97p per month to increase the storage on the cloud.

more great shots Mickysf

Great pictures again, micky.

On my android tablet I save picture to google drive - is that possible on iPad?

Today we are moving into the Aranal. Really looking forward to this as many are telling me that the bird life here is second to none. Hard to imagine as so far I've been amazed with new species just about everywhere I turn my head. The photo below shows a brown pelican, Royal terns, swallow tailed gulls and an anhinga all balancing on the log. Just above them and out of shot was an osprey and a huge kite.

OP, I use the cloud space to enable a complete back up in case of complete loss of iPad or functionality. I have a lot of things on my pads/tabs I’d hate to lose. The cloud gives me that security & peace of mind👍🏻

Yes agree Rocky but I have other options storing on other devices so happy with security

I’ve considered the 1-2 T/byte external hard drives as an extra back up😨 I’m beginning to realise I’m obsessed with retaining my pics etc😂😂

Today we leave the Manoa hotel complex and l'm just waking up to a cacophony of weird and exotic sounds, what a treat. Monkeys & birds all contributing and competing in this dawn chorus the likes of which I've never witnessed before. Wish I could sample it and post on here.

The volcano which dominates the area has remained shrouded in mist during our stay and although we were drenched whilst walking on its slopes it was a marvellous experience. We took the 1968 trail, m.This time the flora was the star of the show with orchids, countless other flowers and plants to wonder at. Once again, our guide was a wealth of information regarding these telling us of the uses made of them by both native and modern people and the inter tangled relationships between the plants and amimals that live here. I'll spare you his worst joke yet!
