Bocas Del Toro, Panama

I'm back home now. I got back Friday night, but I wanted to share about the other places I visited in Central America.

After Panama City, we flew to Bocas Del Toro, which is on an island in the northwestern part of Panama. The town was very small, but there were always people walking around everywhere and they loved to play loud music from their homes. (We especially noticed that when we were trying to go to bed and it sounded like there was a nightclub right outside our window. Fortunately, that only happened the first night). We found out once we got there, that it was "Bocas Day," so they were having a big parade and a huge all day celebration downtown.


We stayed at a little place called Cocomo on the Sea. There were only four rooms and the owners and other guests were very friendly. The guy running the hotel even met us at the small airport and walked us to the hotel, which was only four blocks away. I felt like we were at a private cabin on the carribean with friends. I spent a lot of time laying in the hammocks reading and also took out one of the kayaks that was included with the room.


We stayed there a total of three nights. The day we left, it was pouring rain, and we flew out in this very small plane. Little did we know, this would not be the smallest plane we'd ride on this trip...
