We spent a lovely afternoon and evening visiting the local forest nature reserve. This was part of an organised trip by the hotel but it would be possible to arrange it yourself. We walked through the forest with the guide pointing out things of interest, birds, insects (giant millipede - yuk!) lots of monkeys etc. Take care with the sun and wear a hat and sun cream lotion as it is very hot on the trail. Also use insect repellent. We ended up at a tree-house (very rickety climb - would probably be condemned by the Health and Safety Police in this country!) to watch the sun go down while munching on snacks and sipping cold beers and cocktails.
Best bit was listening to the sounds of the forest as the darkness descended - very atmospheric.
