We collected our washing & ate, before catching the bus back to David to catch another (4hr) bus to the ferry port where the boats leave for the Bocas Del Toros islands. Unfortunately, as ours wasn't a direct bus, it stopped multiple times along the way, which coupled with the rain & bad weather, meant we didn't arrive until the last boat had left at 6pm. A bit of bartering later & Rach, myself & 3 American girls found ourselves a boat to take us ...

We decided to rent a scooter today to ride to the hot springs. So after a chat over breakfast with Patrick, a very chilled, bearded & down to earth young American guy, we walked the 5mins into town. However when we went to rent the bike, we were told it'd cost another $40 on top of the $20 for the bike hire, to ride it to the hot springs. This was a bit of a sh*tter, as that was the main reason for renting the bike, due to not being able to afford the $60 eac...

We arrived in David at about 9am & asked around until we found the bus to take us to Boquete. About an hour later we checked into the Nomra Hostel & nipped into town to see what it had to offer & grab a (good) coffee & bite to eat. 2 hours later & we were off on a tour to visit Mr Tito's coffee plantation. We had a great guide & Mr Tito was a really sweet guy who'd built pretty much all the coffee processing machinery himself! It turns out...

On the advice of Xavier, we decided to try this morning, to post our warm clothes home to save carrying them around for the next 2 months. However it turned out to be a right old pain in the a*se!! We caught a taxi to the Post Office to be told the price, but also that we had to wrap it in brown paper which we could only get from a supermarket & there wasn't one close by!! So a taxi back to visit 2 supermarkets before we found some brown paper, wrapped the pa...

We bid a sad goodbye to Tonys & the island this morning, as we caught the boat back to the mainland. There was only us 2 & Tony (& the driver) on the boat, so we flew across the water in about 20mins! A smoother ride back in the 4x4 (& a little snooze for me!) & we checked back into Xavi's Panama Hostel. Lunch in the mall, a bit of FaceTime & catching up on the blog, before we showered for the 1st time in 2 days(!). With our 10 course dinn...
