Day 93-95 Bocas del Toro After we flipped a coin and decided to head to Panama we were now on a mission to get to Bocas del Toro by the afternoon, a group of islands off the Caribbean coast of Panama very close to the boarder. We caught a bus to the border and then had to walk across a very old bridge that was just wide enough for one truck or car and had a pedestrian walkway to the side but it was blocked most of the way by steel and other construction bits t...

We arrived at the border and crossed very easily, almost too easily.
