Boquete and Back

Once in broiling David City

Cloud Forest

Living in a Cloud Forest
... ) of beer probably hasn't helped either. I've already forgotten the location of cloud forest, but it's somewhere in between David and Boquete, Panama. It was located in a national park called Fortuna. I think. Anyway, after Bocas, my intent was ...
David
... ..seemed a little contradictory but we've had no problems drinking it so far. The border bridge separating Costa Rica from Panama was crazy. It was literally a string of wooden planks shoddily placed together with a large amount of gaping holes where ...

Back to Civilisation
... building to building, it pretty much operates as an honesty system there weren't any police in sight, once stamped into Panama we boarded the 1 hour bus to David. (Say Dar-veed) we were hungry by now and our luggage wasn't too much of an inconvienience so ...
Boquete & David
... the 8am boat to Almirante. Boat trip went smoothly and it was no problem getting a shared taxi to El Cruse where the bus to David was waiting for us. Perfect. So we arrived at David around lunch time which was great. Did the town in the afternoon and ...
