MONDAY 14TH FEBRUARY
Luckily, Valentines day doesnt really exist in the backpackers world so it passed quite painlessly. I was planning on going to one of the local caribbean towns, Bri Bri where there is a waterfall hidden in the jungle but unfortunately the rain kept on coming in heavy so I thought I would try to be peaceful to think but I am not very good at it. Instead of receving spiritual enlightment I got a headache and a craving for junk food which I fed with nachos, ice cream, chocolate cake, pizza for dinner (ps, have you ever tried avocado on pizza - its totally yummy!) finished off with a cold beer with the guys and a bvarian hottie who took the piss out of me something chronic. maybe things are looking up.
TUESDAY 15TH FEBRUARY
Another day, another country and today was Panama. I had to cross a rickety old wooden railway bridge, scattering out of the way of the huge banana trucks as they passed. I met a really cool latvian guy, on the bridge going to Bocas aand in the confusion of choosing between direct taxi and slow public bus to the water taxi we ran into an American guy who was carrying a kayak and offered us a free ride in his taxi if we didnt mind stopping and waiting while he picked up some bits on the way through. So, we helped him carry all his kit on and off the ferries to the island. Myself and Ivars walked up to an awesome hostel he recommended and got placed in a very sociable dorm (thats a reference to the bathrooms...) with 2 crazy but totally awesome guys from Montana, USA. the place where we stayed was called Red Frog beach and it was so gorgeous, a true tropical paradise on big golden sand beaches lined with palm trees. When we got to the beach i stripped off and ran screaming like a little girl into the warm, blue sea and battled against the huuuge waves. sweeeet!!
Later that evening, in the bar, Myron (taxi man) and his buddies turned up and started going crazy buying tequila popper shots for everyone, he gave me and Ivars 10 adn he must have bought around 100 shots. Crazy dude but cool. It was a fantastic evening playing pool and having a good laugh. dreading the hangover in the morning though...
