This morning we were picked up for our panoramic tour of Boquete. Our transportation, an open backed old school jeep. It's kind of what I had imagined a safari in Africa would be like. This was going to be fun. We drove our way through town and started to four wheel drive up the volcano. The hills were zooming past, and I was thinking that it might be hard to get a good photo. But then we stopped. I turned around and saw the most spectacular view of the gr...

This morning I was woken at 3am by the guys that went out drinking last night. The guy staying in the hotel room across from us was trying to unlock his door for about 5min. If I wasn't in my pjs I would have gone across to open it for him.

The most beautiful is when we drove through a rainforest that had been descended upon...

I then realised that the entire room was shaking!! Earthquake!!! 4.9 magnitude. As soon as it finished I went straight back to snoozeville!! As you can tell I obviously wasn't too concerned about it!! I did get a little sleep in this morning... 7.30am, and it was glorious. As soon as I was ready I ...
