Jumping in Bocas del Toro

And again. Bocas was supposed to be a paradise and laid back place on the Caribbean sea, We arrived along with a hectic stormy weather and almost never saw the sun for 3 days ! But again, that's no reason not to jump and swim into the warm waters of the Caribbean sea, and snorkel to see...

Atravesando el canal de Panamá

La mañana es lluviosa en Bocas y no parece que el día vaya a mejorar. No tiene mucho sentido seguir en la playa con este tiempo, así que decido continuar hasta Panamá y pasar los últimos días en casa de mi hermana con su familia, su piscina y su parilla (barbacoa), pero sin olvidar la promesa...

Anne and Arnud, restoring my faith in the French

It’s been a long time coming, but at last my faith has been restored. At the risk of sounding totally American, I used to dislike the French as a rule. It has a lot to do with being robbed by a group of French hoodlums (did I just use that word?) 10 years ago. So when they approached me and...

They say the third time’s the charm…

The comedy of errors that is the SS Tropicturd helmed by Captain Ginge continued today on our journey to Dog Island, which actually ended up being a longer journey to the Lemon Islands. I’m calling him Captain Ginge today because of his obvious hair color, and it best matches his salty, snarly...

The Lemons, paradise found (with internet!)

We reach the picturesque Lemon Islands and drop anchor surrounded by about 10 islands. We paddled out to the reef off of one of the islands, and enjoyed some spectacular snorkeling thanks to the clear water and amazing weather. It’s better than Belize with a wider variety of fish and coral,...

Winner, Winner, Lobster Dinner

The Kuna men paddle by in their dugout boats several times a day selling various fresh catches. After twice refusing, we manage to negotiate $25 for 2 big lobsters and 2 medium lobsters. I refuse to take part in their boiling, and after watching Julie and Julia last night, I’m quite convinced...

Cocos and Ed Hardy

On the island of Chichime I meet a Kuna boy who looks to be about 15, but is probably older since the Kuna are rivaled in their small stature only by the pygmy. He’s only visiting and lives in Panama City selling cell phones. He has his pet iguana on a small leash wrapped around his wrist. ...

The Coconut Business is Booming…The Kuna Yala, native people of the San Blas Islands

The Kuna Yala do not like the name San Blas Islands since it was given by the Spanish and prefer simply Kuna Yala. The 55,000 population are autonomous and have their own strict laws. Among these, intermarrying is prohibited and no one who is not a Kuna may own property. Each village has...

Tropicbird…more like Tropicturd

So I met Captain Julian at my hostel and he seemed so laid back and easy-going. His price was a little higher per night than a hostel, but I thought, “Wow, I’ll be getting a sailing experience!” I promptly agree to a 2 day sailing cruise in the San Blas Islands. 2 days later, we haven’t even...
