Strange border crossing led by children. Thrown off bus and walked over rickety, holey bridge, panama on one side, costa rica on the other.

Stayed at Mondo Taitu with a million americans. lovely bunch. Met up with Mike, Tates and Racquel´s chum from Canada. Drank LOTS of rum and white russians, and caphirinias and beers.

Hiked to Wizard beach over mud and snake infested forest..worth it as beach was stunning. Nearly got pulled away by the awesome rip though. scary. Later that night after lots of rum, went dancing in various bars. In the Reef Bar, which had a deck, we watced the jellyfish under our feet and Ian, after a few too many rums, thought it would be a good idea to swim with them. This litle adventure ended with a very badly cut foot from the coral(see picture), but no jellyfish stings.

Xmas was spent with hopalong Ian and Nina joyous at the sight of roast turkey, ham and all the trimmings..props to the americans, dude. And more rum.
