Made it to Curiabá. The 'entrance' to the Pantanal, north! The temperature was awful hot again and I will never complain about the weather any more... I'm never getting satisfied anyway! The good thing is that you can find the best fruit juices in the world here!!! I'm totally loving theese tiny 'bars' where you go in, order a juice, drink it while standing and pay on you way out! My original plan went down when the pousada I chose ...

Got a taxi and finally found the correct bus to the airport..it took forever since the bus stopped every 5 meters to let on and of people. When we finally arrived it started to poor down like I've never seen before...I was soaked in 30 secounds but I found shelter with the policeguard outside th...

I tried to make a reservation at a place by calling but that whole conversation was just so weird! We weren't sure weather we had a place to slep or not when we left Panama City! Rach and me went to the airport on Friday morning a...

We all left Puerto Viejo together on Wednesday morning. The busride to the bordertown Siaxoala was bumpy and hot! The sun can be quite strong at 7am down here... The border between Costa Rica and Panama actually has a bridge and a sign indicating exactly where the border is, which is the first one I've seen here in Central America! From the border we got a taxi to Changuinola and from there a watertaxi to Bocas. I've been excited about Panama throughout m...
