Back to Bocas del Toro

We are getting good at traveling via water taxis. They are fast and cheap. What a beautiful way to travel as you can see the bottom of the clear waters, most of the time, or watch the waves break at a distance, watch dolphins play, and feel the sea breeze against your face. Today, we are back to Bocas. We are staying in Hotel Las Olas, which is a birght yellow, 3 story building with a deck overlooking the waters. Our hotel room costs $45 dollars with a full breakfast included, served on the d...

Boat trips to secluded beaches

We're staying at Hotel Olas right on the water...pretty amazing place. We went out on a boat trip today, saw dolphins, went snorkeling, ate at a restaurant in Macca Bite on Isla Bastiementos and chilled out at Red Frog Beach, also on Bastiementos. Gret trip, except for two grumpies that started demanding things and left early. But we met some great guys from Barcelona and two girls from Israel. Last night we ate at a great Thai-ish restaurant called Lemongrass and had beers at a place called ...

Panama City to Bocas Del Toro

We had flights in the mid afternoon to Bocas Del Toro, so we decided to a tour of the old city area. This was the most touristy area we found, although touristy was still fairly minimal. There were a few street vendors selling locally made necklaces, hats, old panama license plates. I almost got a license plate, but then wasn't sure what I would do with it, and having to travel for a month with that extra baggage didn't seem appealing. Later I inquired about mailing items, and UPS or FedEx is...

Enjoying the island life...

Today, Bryan and I woke up feeling much better. I felt 100% better but Bryan still had a massive headache to conquer.(The mystery meat could have really done a lot worse to us, so we are lucky. thanks for the prayers) Once we got some food in our systems, (food that was NOT from a street vendor) we both were ready to face a new day. After doing some research about where our next destination would be, we rented some kayaks and paddled over to Hospital Point(another island off the coast of ...

Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica ... Day 7

... full of beauty. There were literally 100's of land crabs, bugs, butterflies, birds, ants, you name it and it lived among the this trail. The journey was peaceful, the walk only 15 minutes but just looking up in the jungle was a realization of how nature exists. It was an amazing experience. We left Cahuita and drove the mountain filled area to Bribri. We stopped for lunch at a small soda and had fried chicken and tacos. The ...

Bocas Del Toro - day 2

... parents from heart attack land I walked in the pouring rain a few blocks down to the ferries. No luck. I returned to the hostel to sleep a few hours and try to get the first cab available in the morning. I got to the room, flipped on the light thinking I´d be the only one in the room, but to my surprise I counted at least 4 pairs of feet sticking out from 4 sets of bunks. Light off my next task was to find the mattress pile the hostel worker said I´d need ...

Turtle!

... problem can come up later when you either get asked by a police officer to show your passport, or when you try to leave the country that you have no record of entering! A couple of really friendly guys helped show us smelly backpackers which window to go to for the stamp, and I was not surprised when they offered to drive us to the ferry station to Bocas del Toro for "only" 10 dollars each. I declined, even though everyone else went along for some stupid reason, but I was the one ...

Wonderful & Wild Bocas del Toro

... Toro archipelago , which was where I was staying. The boat ride takes a very scenic route up an old canal that used to be used by the banana plantations years ago but is now vegetation and birdlife. In Bocas I enjoyed some great snorkelling on the coral reefs at "cayo crawl" and "hospital point" (so named because there used to be a hospital there a long time ago , not because its dangerous in some way) with lots of colourful ...
