Hola! So we finally switched countries from Costa Rica to Panama. Litereally wandering across a rickety bridge into a new country was bizarre enough then just to make it even more surreal the disco kicked in & we were greated by the euro disco brilliance that is Sash! loud enough to make the floor shake! Amazing!
Determind to save the 3 or 4 dollars and staying true to our lonely planet we set out for the bus stop, ignoring the masses of touts hassling you claiming that we were about to miss the last boat! After 10 minutes walking in the hot sun we were chased down the road by a man in a mini van with air con offering us a severe discount. We caved, finances & dignity intact!
After the weirdness of the border & the van struggling to climb the mountains in the way, there was a very soothing beauty to the boat ride into Bocas. The calm waves were distrubed by the sight of waterfront hostels as we approached the docks & saw the happy hour signs beckoning. We could tell this was going to be an educational experience!
