We decided to make a pit stop on our way to Panama City. It was a very long day of travel. We left Bocas Del Toro at 1230 pm and traveled by boat to Changuinola which took an hour and 7 per person. Then made a bus for David which took 4 and a half hours riding through mountains. That was 8 each. Sometimes w http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Panama/Boquete/blog-304041.html We are in Bocas Del Toro Panama. Finally broke down to pay for some internet here. It is 2 an hour. So expensive. We made it here yesterday around 4pm. Time changed when we came to Panama and now we are in the same time zone. We met a girl from Sacramento and her name is Elyse and she is traveling alone. We all got a room together yesterday and it was a dump.

We spent the afternoon discovering Panama's historic old town which until a f http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Panama/blog-297180.html sorry for such brief expanations.... but enjoy the photos. http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Panama/blog-296123.html Central AmericaAfter spending 10 months in South America we had left ourselves only two months for the final part of our trip through Central America from Panama to Mexico City. This is clearly very little time to see 8 different countries and an area with so many sights meaning we will have to be very selective. No more days lazing around in hammocks. Well not so many perhapsOur first vie http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Panama/blog-295807.html Segeltoern nach PanamaJa ein kleiner Segeltoern fehlte eigentlich noch auf unserer Reise und da wir eigentlich nichts auslassen wollten kam uns das natuerlich sehr entgegen eine viertaegige Segeltour von Cartagena Kolumbien nach San Blas Panama... so haben wir uns dann auch noch den relativ teuren Flug zwischen den Kontinenten gespart.Auf der Suche nach einem passenden Boot man segelt http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Panama/blog-294676.html Hey everyoneStill on the caribbean islands off panama we're addicted to this place and cant seem to leave It may be due to the fact you can get a round of drinks here for 3We even have a little family of lizards in our hotel room now that come see us every nightYesturday we went on a crazy adventure into a cave with bats a crocodiles we heard rumours about this cave that was discovered http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Panama/Bocas-Del-Toro/Isla-Colon/blog-293615.html Panama city Large cities are generally the same.
