Boquete - Rain, rain, rain!
... of the Badlands, I knew this couldn't be any worse! And sure enough, Eduardo was Bart Cummings in comparison to old Moses, and we took a gorgeous ride up into the mountains around Boquete and through some of the coffee plantations.

Today is our relaxing day, we lay by the pool for a few hours, make our way to lunch and then inside for a really long nap, we've had a few long days with early mornings so it's been well deserved. After waking, we make our way to the ocean deck overlooking the cove for another nap and beautiful views of the ocean. ...
