I made it to Bocas after 24 hours of traveling from San Diego to Bocas. Whew. I will be going to Isla Popa manana. First I am going to eat at the Buena Vista and go to sleep! Julie- I ran into your people from Cristobal. It never fails that I see Santos and Miguel!... read more

Hola allemaal!! De hoogste tijd weer even voor een update….we waren gebleven bij het vertrek van pap en mam..snif snif…. Ik heb natuurlijk niet stil gezeten, sterker nog…om het vertrek van pap en mam een beetje te verzachten heb ik een nieuwe hobby op gepakt….jawel…surfen! hahahha! Het is er dan eindelijk van gekomen! WOEHOE! Wouter en Jeffrey hadden het op hun genomen om Sebastiaan en mij de eerste surfles te geven…..super!! Dus zaterdag na Carnaval zijn we dan ook in een boot gestapt om eens te gaan bekijken wat voor super surftalenten Sebas en ik zijn, hahahaha!!! Nou ik kan je vertellen mijn talent is ver te zoeken maar Sebas ging het toch wel aardig af! Na helemaal volledig in elkaar gebeukt te zijn door de golven is het dan toch 1 keer gelukt om half ... read more

Greetings travelers! I am new to the blogging thing but I ran across this site and found it quite interesting. I first went to Bocas del Toro almost 3 years ago and since that initial trip, I have been back 7 times. I am interested in sharing experiences with others who have travelled there or are about to. I have become somewhat knowledgable about this magical place and would be happy to offer advice to others regarding the fun things to do, great places to eat and drink, places to stay (in almost every price range!) and precautions to take while visiting. One thing I haven't had a chance to check out yet is the bat cave on Isla Colon. Anybody been there?... read more

Hallo allemaal! Het laatste verhaal was geëindigd met de komst van Pap en Mam…..JEEJ! Echt was zo leuk, en we hebben echt zo veel gedaan dat ik waarschijnlijk wel wat dingetjes vergeet te vertellen maar echt was super leuk om ze hier te hebben!!! Helaas helaas zijn ze inmiddels alweer vertokken, boehoe boehoe! Maar hier dan een kleine opsomming van alles wat we gedaan hebben…. Eindelijk was het dan zover…op weg naar Panama city om ze op te halen. Hahaha ja dat was nog een soort grappig..had ik toch bijna mijn eigen vlucht gemist! Het was namelijk zo….ik had me netjes in gecheckt enzo en wilde nog even gauw een pitstop maken bij het toilet en nog even wat te drinken halen enzo, wat het vliegtuig zou wat later komen,…komt er ineens een vriend (TJ) ... read more

Fig trees are the subject of various legends, curses and blessings around the world. The Panamanian version runs something like this - on the night of Good Friday, you go to your local fig tree and spread a white sheet on the ground. At midnight, the devil will appear and offer you a choice of two swords, one new and one rusty. Choose the rusty one. You then sword fight the devil and your rusty sword does you proud and you beat him. He then bows down to you and grants you whatever you desire. Although if you were thinking this sounds like a good deal - here´s the catch - unfortunately you still have to give him your soul, despite the fact you beat him (what happens next is unclear, but presumably you follow the ... read more

Well, it's January, and you're all probably at work, having visions of Nat & I drinking cocktails served by Monkey waiters in the cloud forest, hating our guts... Well, prepare to engage the schadenfreude portion of your brains, as the travelling backlash starts here. I'm not going to write anything about the brilliant two weeks we spent with Sarah and Aoife, as hopefully they're doing that right now (ahem, you're late guys!) However it's fair to say my impressions of Costa Rica went down a fair way, firstly after someone tried to nick Sarah's bag on the beach at Mal Pais, then after a nasty case of food poisoning and/or gastric flu, then getting my wallet nicked (complete with all my bank cards but thankfully only about $6 in it). 3 days and nights lying flat ... read more

Alrighty, the hung over bus through the most beautiful mountians (the continental divide) over to the Caribbean Coast to the Island town of Bocas Del Toro. We hear many things about this place but becuase it is their wet season we weren´t sure we wanted to go but decided to try it for a day or 2 with Eric. We arrived and took a water taxi to the island where all the buildings hang out into the water and the main street runs down the center. We spent 2 nights at Mondu Taitu Hostel that has it´s own bar in it and every friday night it has a dress up theme party. We arrived late on Thursday so saved up for the dress up party. During the day on Friday, Ross and I rented bicycles and ... read more

De hele nacht door....voor mij ging om ongeveer 6 uur het licht uit maar andere zijn nog door gegaan tot de volgende dag rond de lunch!! hahaha!! waanzinnig!!

After a tearful good-bye to Hannah and Emma in San Jose, it was time to move on to country number 7- Panama. My first stop was the Carribean islands not far from the Costa Rican border- Bocas del Toro. Imagine my delight to arrive in glorious weather and to find out that there was a fancy dress party that night- woo hoo! I got straight to business and trawled the very few shops that was there to find an outfit that would fit the superhero theme. In the end I settled on 'She-ra, Princess of Power' with a gold nightie, silver belt and tiara and a sword with flashing lights and sound effects! A lot of fun! The next 5 days were rainy, rainy, rainy. Luckily the island is quite a party place so I was ... read more
