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.
