Quite the interesting morning. I opened my suitcase this morning to find a stowaway. I messaged our guides and apparently he is a tree frog. I can’t believe he survived three flights in the cargo hold plus all the stuff in between. He must be in a bad way but he was so fast that right after I was able to snap this pic (to ensure he was not one of the frogs whose skin is poisonous) he pulled a runner and is now somewhere in our room. We were told to leave out some water and the staff would try to trap him. He is not indigenous to this area so they have to figure out what to do about him.
Needless to say, he gave me quite a scare. I’m sure anyone not already awake when he hopped out from under a pile of clothes was awake after my screaming.

UPDATE: The hotel has him in a container with some water and leaves and stuff. Someone from the authorities is coming to pick him up. Hopefully they will get him back where he belongs or at least to a zoo or something with an environment where he can be happy.

Also – all along the way everyone at the hotel has been apologizing for “the inconvenience”. I’m like – I brought a live animal into your hotel, why are YOU apologizing???? Daniel tells me “Apologizing for everything is the Colombian way.”
