Two weeks in Costa Rica part 3: Two days with the Quetzals

This is part 3 of our first two weeks in Costa Rica, you can read  Part 1 here and Part 2: Two more days in Costa Rica here. Day six: Today we're going back up into the mountains to spend a couple of nights in the cloud forest by the Quetzal National Park. The resplendent quetzal was the bird that most jumped out when I was flicking through our bird book. They are iridescent green, with a red breast and extremely long tails. I'm looking forward to seeing them. I spend most of the morning watching videos on how to fix the rear window on the car. Could be the wiper sensor, motor, fuses, relay or lots of other things. MacGyver'ed a cable to bypass the rear wiper sensor but that didn't fix it. Need to use a 12V battery to wind up the window "manually" until we can fix it properly. Can't remember if I bought the multimeter or left it at home. Drive to mirador de quetzales. Along pan American highway (number 2). Stopped in Cartago at Walmart for a car bat
