Bocas Del Toro
My stay here has really not much to mention because everyday was a repeat of the previous day, its suppose to be a beautiful place with white sand beaches, crystal clear Caribbean water and is where I first get to swim in the warm waters of the Caribbean but for 80% of my time here it was dreadfully bad weather with torrential downpours that I have never experienced so bad before, let alone seeing any type of rain in the past few months and because of this pretty much everyone spent all day inside the hostel cradling a hangover or continuing to drink – including myself.
I didn’t venture further than 150m down the road on the first four days only to get to the nightclubs and bars absolutely drenched but it made for a good entrance into each place.
The park across the road from the hostel turned into a lake and the deep gutters surprised people thinking they were shallow, when I say surprised I mean getting injured but watching people running through the rain that would inevitably eat shit and make a good laugh for anyone that was watching.
I did meet some fantastic people here on the island of Bocas del Toro, one girl especially mentioned named Alex from Quebec, one of the coolest and most beautiful girls ive met in recent memory and after spending several days hanging out with her I really would have loved her to mention something about her boyfriend well before I tried all my efforts to impress her; although disappointed I did have a good time hanging out with her.
Whilst here and like everywhere else I travel to I ended up bumping into many people I met in previous places including two girls Amber and Laura(?) who I had fun with back in Guatemala both at the same time; it made for an awkward moment when seeing them in the hostel – for them anyway, I was fine with it.
There were also a bunch of other people who I can mention that I ran into but its just going to make a long list, for not a very good read.
The one time I ventured away from the town was to get to Starfish Beach on the other side of the island with a bunch of people who I met at the hostel. The beach was not nearly as nice as those postcards pictured it but this was the only time where the weather was sunny - recommend place if the weather is not pissing it down.
