Hotel La Rumba Bocas del Toro

... and 2 separate half-bath (toilet and sink). The cuisine is also spacious and well equiped. There is a covered deck right on the water making for a perfect spot for sunset dinners or drinks or just hanging out.<br>The place offers rooms with A/C, free Wifi, television, DVD player, hot water and most importantly, the most gracious service.<br>In a town where price-gouging seems to be the main activity, this was very refreshing.

... complete with an impromptu jam session- which involved coconut percussion and beer can maraca- we headed back to town and hit up our favorite fruit smoothie stand. I don´t know what else to say besides THEY ARE DELICIOUS!<br>Pineapple and banana, mango, and coconut and banana are among our favorites so far. Keep in mind we´re only on day 4, and you can´t really go wrong! <br><br>Hopefully the sun will be shining again tomorrow so we can ...

... saved when we mustered the energry to take a boat trip across to the other islands in the bay. The water here holds some of the most spectacular and colourful coral I have ever seen and we loved it. We also spotted dolphins and relaxed on a wonderful beach called Red Frog Beach where there are indeed tiny little red frogs. However this land has been bought is being developed so who knows how long it will remain an easy day tripper beach to relax on.

... and we could eat as much as we wanted...we left the pasta for the day after, and we ate the whole Gallo pinto.... WE told us also we could try some cake tipical from the island, and we ate them also...but he was meaning "try them", and we ate all of them and left them without anything...ups...I felt bad.....<br><br>At night we came into a disco where hip-hop music was played...and where there were only kids (14-18). It was Saturday, so we satyed there anyhow ...

... to Casa Fiesta, soaked from head to foot but it felt great. Instead of the stroll, we sat on the lanai and watched the rain. It didn't seem to be moving very quickly so instead of eating out, we made pasta and stayed in. It is odd but every night, I don't find myself inside, I have spent almost every moment sitting on the lanai, listening, watching and enjoying the surroundings. I think in some way I needed this and that is why I enjoyed it so much.

... found a hotel to stay in fairly easily and I enjoyed my first warm shower since my first nights in San Jose. It was bliss! The day were fairly relaxing. The first day I took the bus to an isolated beach at the northern end of the main island and the second day I took a tour which included snorkelling and dolphins and going to an uninhabited island, which was really rather pretty. On the tour I also met a couple of Americans who took me out to dinner which was really nice ...

Hooola!! Olsenin kaksosten kotimainen kikatusversio taalla jalleen! (kiitos vaan Tuomo lempinimesta) Miamin tapahtumista viela sen verran, etta tietenkin suomalaisella saastavaisyydella onnistuttiin sahlaamaan transportaatioyhteydet Miamin alueella. Emiliahan vastustaa taksia jo noin periaatteena ja talla kertaa myos mina ja Taru olimme samaa mielta, oli nimittain tahtitieteellisen kallista. Olimme siis palaamassa Downtown Miami ...

... parina ekana paivana muutamaankin otteeseen ohimennen todella hamaran nakoisen amerikkalaiskaksikon. aluksi todella yhteensopimattoman nakoinen yhtalo koostui tatuoidusta, rastapaisesta kuivan kesan oravasta ja hanen pulskasta ja myos tatuoidusta ja lavistetysta rikostoveristaan. lyhyesti juttelinmme jonka jalkeen me kuljimme nimella finns koska heidan reseptaakkilinsa olivat siina kunnossa etta nimienkin muistaminen oli liian mutkikas yhtalo. no kun noin neljanne kerran ...

... I guess that is the idea!! Our room was a small, wooden affair, resembling both visually and humidly a sauna. A few of us went out for dinner, sampled some local beer, Soberana, and carried the two who opted for vodka down the road! It seems singles in Bocas are the equivalent of triples!! I had a lovely dish of Mahi Mahi fish.

... of people could only support one hopping scene per night, and you saw a lot of the same people (and the same drug dealers and the same police officers watching the same drug dealers) each night. The diving and fishing are also meant to be good, if that is your thing. It's not really a true "local" Panamanian experience, but it is much more of a good mix than staying at an all-inclusive resort. And, with that, I was off to: Panama City, Panama
