It’s now time to start making choices. Time is running out and we are still far away from Mexico. So we have to accelerate in some countries. Panama was one of them. Without hearing many great things about the country, except along the coast, we decided to focus on some spots and leave to Costa Rica. So we did one last stop in the north very close to the border in Bocas del Toro.

Everything was going well, until Carol was attacked by bed bugs on the bus to Bocas. For the fourth time she was attacked and Mr. Alexis was untouched. So unfare!

Bocas is a group of islands on the Caribbean cost, a mix of blue waters and jungle. We found the islands of San Blas more impressive, yet the beaches of Bocas were also very beautiful, because they are wild beaches with lots of green.

We did a boat trip to see dolphins, to go snorkeling and spending time on the island of Cayo Zapatillas.

One hour was enough to walked around the island and we swam into the stunning blue waters. The weather in this region is horrible because it rains a lot, but we got lucky to catch the sun just when we were on the island.

After a lot of rain, we had a sunny Saturday afternoon so we went to visit another beach called Red Frog beach.

It is named like this because in the midst of their jungle you can find red frogs with black spots. We tried to find them but it is very difficult. But luckily a local who lived there catch one to show us and we understood why it was that difficult, they are so tiny! But very cute too.

And after another day of heavy rain we enjoyed to rest a little, we were ready to continue our journey and cross the border. Bye bye Panama, Costa Rica here we go!
