Bocas Del Toro:
Our second stop in Panama was in the Archipelago of Bocas Del Toro, in the Caribbean sea, close to Costa Rica. It is composed of several islands whose major is Isla de Colon where is the capital Bocas Del Toro. Nice surf can be seen so Lee was excited to get some decent pictures.
From Panama City, after a night spent in the bus, we reached Almirante where we took a boat to join Bocas Del Toro, in Colon Island. Hopefully the sea was quiet (I hate boats you know that!). Here we met our 2 Irish friends from the San Blas boat trip, Dave, the surfer, and Neil who's got a "real" ginger beard! (Note for Stu) who where in Bocas for surfing. Unfortunately and now it is like an habit, the waves had gone down and no picture! The weather was not great either! (Is the English rain following Lee by any chance?) But we had nice walks around this island and the island of Carenero with tropical landscape.
- It is 5am and the bus from Panama just left us in front of the boat office in Almirante. Here we waited 1 hr for the first boat. During this time, Lee played with a dog with a golf ball sent by his mum for Christmas. But the dog started to be very possessive and did not like the game of throwing the ball. We said goodbye to Almirante, the dog and the golf ball!,
- One of the beach close to Bocas Del Toro. The picture shows a nice and paradise like beach but in reality, it was full of rubbishes and not very attractive,
- On the boat, sailing around the Island of Carenero, we saw these pelicans which were watching carefully the water for some food. One of them jumped in the water in front of us and came back with in its mouth a decent fish.....bigger than any Lee has caught so far!!
- We passed an area on the island where the roots of the trees were up and and that make the forest like in the Lord of the Ring book!
- Typical tropical landscape.
