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.
Went to see IDLES with Ruby at the Electric Ballroom in Camden.

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.
