In Boquete...

After a few days of sightseeing in Panama City we continued our trip to the small town of Boquete. Here in the mountains the weather is much colder than in the rest of the country and unfortunately the rainy season has just started!
We are waiting now since 4 days for better weather to climb the Volcano Barú... Today it gets a last chance! Otherwise we're going to continue to Bocas del Toro tomorrow...

In Central America - finally...

In the last days we crossed the last real frontier in the Americas!
From Colombia to Panama the are no roads or big boarder crossings - there is just jungle, guerillas, smugglers and other bandits! We passed this area just at the caribbean coast, but even there it was beautiful!!! Pura selva - pura vida!!! ( pure wilderness - pure life!!!)
Yesterday we arrived Panama City! In the next days we are going to explore the city and the canal area...

Back from the island!

Since yesterday we are back on solid ground - After 5 days on a small, from mass tourism untouched caribbean island! Cristal clear turquoise waters, coral reefs, snorkeling, camping in the village, coconut trees,...Here you can still find the authentic caribbean life. The fishermen leave every morning in their small canoes to catch crawfish and giant snails per hand and the children are completely fascinated by the strange things the two palefaces brought (camping stove, Ukulele,...)
Tomorrow we are on our way to Panama. Central America here we come!
