An Island in the Sun (Bocas Del Toro)
Dateline: First week of June, 2010
A 20 minute water taxi ride off the Caribbean coast of Panama is Bocas Del Toro, a big island full of backpackers. We lugged our packs around and scoped out a few hostels, finally settling on one which had its own private dock. The dock doubled as the back porch and was a perfect setting for afternoon beers.
It was here we met a couple of full of life (& full of drugs) guys who entertained us for hours with their stories which they will be releasing as a book sometime soon. The stories mostly centered around drugs and women and after a couple of hours of not being able to get a word in, we were exhausted.
We spent a few days on the island, which was hot hot hot. The highlights included:
Renting Kayaks for a paddle to another island
A great little dinner at a very local cafeteria
and drinks at a beautiful restaurant's bar at the end of a jetty.
