With Tanja and Simon still with us, we ventured over the border into Panama. Our final country... Well, of Part 1 of the trip. Part 2 (the epic US road trip) begins after our brief jaunt back to the UK for Toby and Karen's wedding...

The trip over to Panama was an extended delight for Tanja and Simon who have been stranded with no flights going back to Europe. Oh well, we'll just have to spend some time in the stunning Caribbean archipelgo of Bocas del Toro...

You must all be seriously bored of hearing about beaches and crystal clear waters. Well, we're not bored of discovering them (ha ha) and these ones were especially stunning. Totally untouched, backed by jungle and only accessible by boat. Sadly we've only managed to get one day of sun in as it's been raining all day today but it's given me a mo to catch up with this blog. We've got an 11 hour bus tomorrow down to Panama City. Ant's hoping to lay his hands on a Delmonte hat. I'm hoping to stowaway on a cruise liner going through the canal. Will report on where we get to on those!
