Get on a boat and take a diving/snorkeling tour of the islands, of course!! And so we did. We met the boat at 9am this morning just up the street from our hotel at Bocas Water Sports. There we got our gear and chatted with the local divemasters and instructors...all the while watching the impending dark rain clouds creep closer and closer. But we decided, what the hell, let´s do it..not to mention we had already paid! It was great ...

At 4:15 a.m., we were awakened by a heavy tropical downpour. We got up and sat on the lanai to listen to the loud thunder, the crashing waves and watched the flashes of lightening. The humid morning rain was a welcomed surprise, who could have ever imagined rain could be so tranquil yet very forceful, especially at 4:15 a.m. We left about 7:30 a.m. for Cahuita. We arrived at the Sloth Rescue Plantation (www.slothrescue.org ...

... to go a cab had just dropped someone off, but wanted too much money to get back. Right behind the cab was a sand truck so we stopped him and hopped into the back and rode standing in the truck bed. It was actually a lot of fun and less rocky than being in a car (we just had to make sure to duck under a few low lying tree branches). Back at the house we met back up with Jaime and Mike and sat in the shade and read finding out the hard way that even under ...

... and sunning ourselves. It was a ball but when you start a blog with a story about a huge poo on a bus you cant really top that can you? so ill sign off. Costa Rica Next and more beaches......but its really expensive and full of American teenagers on spirng break "WWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!! SPRING BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!" is what they seem to say a lot and im not even sure its spring. Ok. love you. bye. love you. D&J&L&D xxx p.s pictures coming soon.

... on a serious beer/rum session with our Panamanian friends before going for a curry and birthday cake then dancing the night away to Calipso music (gets a bit vague here), Simon swinging from the rafters and Linz engaging in some pole dancing action. Hhmm we may have let the gracious foreigner bit slip here. Oh well what the hell? There were no red frogs :-(

... Costa Rica. We will most probably stay on the beach at the Carribbean side of Costa Rica and get a bus to San Jose (the capital) on Sunday. We need to be there early Monday morning to pick up our German friend Stefan and collect our rent-a-car which will be our luxury during 10 days. Panama is definetly another country we would not mind coming back to (we have left all the eastern part untouched). Cheerio for the time being.
