Batty

Where we are docked this week has been very cool and almost ideal weather. We have been doing something that we did at first but haven’t done in a long time. We have been setting on the top deck in the evening after supper and enjoying the sunsets and cool breezes.
Just before dark, however, we noticed large birds in huge numbers flying overhead. On closer inspection they were bats! Not little ones but big bats! Gail and Nicki walked over to the roost where the locals said they could be found and took some pictures. These guys can weigh 3 or 4 pounds easily! Kind of gives you the creeps…like Dracula is going to be standing beside you!
Tomorrow we move to Prek Ambel so we will be done with the bats. Nicki leaves tomorrow for the States. We will miss her big smiles and easy going spirit
