A monitor lizard?  I am not sure, but he was bigger than I am comfortable with reptiles being.

    Going to agree with you TB, as far as I'm concerned monitors can join the ranks of T. rex. Those photos really show the meaning of the word "lush".

    1. Nylon12 - I am not precisely terrified of large lizards, but they are not on my "favourite" list by a long shot.

      Lush is something that will be a bit of repeating theme as we travel through this trip.

  2. I am on my third book of my most recent fiction binge. It happens to be Michael Crichton's "Lost World" the sequel to Jurassic Park and starts off with unidentified large lizards washing up on the beach.

    1. Ed, Crichton is an enjoyable author. If you still find yourself in a fiction mood at some point, I recommend his books "Timeline" (Time travel of a sort back to the 14th Century; the book is better than the movie) and Eaters of the Dead, which is loosely based on the writings of 10th Century Arab traveling north to the land of the Rus (it was the basis for the movie The Thirteenth Warrior, which arguably is better than the book).
