On the way to breakfast. because I was focusing on some hotel employees singing Happy Birthday and cutting a cake to celebrate our hotel's first anniversary I walked right through the elaborate floral display on the floor, fortunately not destroying it.

On the way to today's Levada hike Emma spotted a perfect rainbow to which I will devote a whole series of great photos.

| Continuation. The path alongside the water channel alternates between hardpacked dirt, stone, concrete and a combination of the three, sometimes only a foot wide. |
 |
