It had to happen sometime, after 28 games unbeaten we have lost at Charlton. We were winning 1-0 at half time but the home team were awarded a penalty that never was early in the second half and went on to win the game. We are still top of the league.

La Ensenada Wildlife Refuge – Northern Lowlands – Gulf of Nicoya
Our final destination was the La Ensenada Wildlife Refuge and my first impression was that it was the hottest place we had visited. Whilst here we had a boat trip out to the mangroves early in the morning where we saw Mangrove Hummingbird, Panama Flycatcher, Mangrove Warbler (Yellow Warbler), Boat-billed Heron and many other birds. We also had a tractor ride to the salt pans, a lake and hill with a great view over the area.
