Advantages: Brill for watching many species of humming birds&other birds.Nice&rural,lots of trails. Disadvantages: You are very likely to get very wet. Not much to see except Hummingbirds
On our recent trip to Ecuador, South America we had a 2 day 1 night stay at the Bellavista Cloud Forest Reserve is less than 2 hours away from Quito but still deep in the forest. Our reason for visiting Bellavista was to see the many species of hummingbirds at the feeders. There are also many trails to walk.
We arrived around midday after travelling from Quito. It was raining quite hard but we didn?t notice this when we saw all the hummingbirds at the syrup filled feeders around the main area of the lodge. There were also vivid blue Jays. We went to ?The Dome? which is a wooden building with 360 degree views from which you can see the rugged peaks of Pichincha and Catacachi in the distance. The Dome also had a restaurant and bar and library and accommodation above and cafe below. There was also a covered outside veranda with seating ...
Advantages: very entertaining film Disadvantages: not exactly true to the book
The Plot
Poirot is returning from Paris to London on a flight with a mixed bunch of passengers, some of whom he met and/or saw during his stay in France. Due to his travel sickness he falls asleep during the flight whilst a murder is committed, which initially seems to be death by a wasp sting. The murder "victim" is Madame Giselle, a ruthless money lender/blackmailer, and Poirot needs to work out who amongst the passengers, or even crew, on board had a motive to kill her, as well as clear his own name as there seems to be evidence against himself too! He enlists the help of Jane Grey, an amicable air stewardess, but is she all she seems to be? Does Poirot get to the bottom of this crime before more people are killed? Who committed the "Death in the Clouds"?

Advantages: Last ages, better than using other perfumes Disadvantages: Expensive
This product is perfect for days when you just dont have the time to wash your hair. i.e. when you wake up late on the morning after the night before and your hair still reeks of smoke. Only a few sprays of this and your hair not only smells gorgeous again but all other smells are eliminated and neutralised. It last ages, usually if applied in the morning its still there in the late evening and definately has more staying power than most ordinary perfumes. It comes in a tiny bottle and is quite expensive but well worth it. Also the smell isn't girly and therefore the product can be unisex. Great if you've got a busy social life and an even busier life. ...
British director John Duigan (WIDE SARGASSO SEA, FLIRTING, SIRENS) takes on epic grandeur with HEAD IN THE CLOUDS, a relentless tale of love and romance, war and high society, personal sacrifice and the greater good. Charlize Theron, fresh off her Oscar for MONSTER, stars as the very rich and free-spirited Gilda, a beautiful blonde socialite who enjoys parties, champagne, and sex. However, she gets a little more serious upon meeting Guy (Stuart Townsend), an Irishman studying at Cambridge who believes that he must join the fight in the Spanish Civil War. Penelope Cruz plays Mia, Gilda's Spanish protegee who had to give up her dancing career because of a bad leg and now is studying to become a nurse. As Guy and Mia consider going to Spain, Gilda takes their possible leaving personally, casting them aside as she pursues other interests that turn out to be far more dangerous than anyone could have imagined. Duigan's film focuses on a fascinating section of society from the 1920s through to the end of World War II, as the fancy living of the Roaring Twenties became a memory with the coming of the Great Depression and, ultimately World War II. Theron is excellent as a modern woman with liberal ideas--but only when it comes to herself and her own situation. Moving primarily between Paris, London, and Spain, HEAD IN THE CLOUDS is a remarkable journey through one of the most diverse and difficult periods of the 20th century, when the future of the world hung in the balance.
