    Bocas del Toro

    February 5, 2023 in Panama ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

    Highlights:
    - Chilling at the hostel Aqua Lounge playing games, sunbathing and jumping into the sea
    - Watching the sunset with aperol spritzes and a live band playing
    - Staying in a nice hotel room with a balcony and sea view - luxury! We watched Netflix and had snacks in bed which made a nice change
    - Getting a boat to a floating bar in the ocean, having drinks with friends and swimming in the sea
    - Getting a private day boat trip with friends to dolphin bay, some islands (where we saw a sloth from the boat - Bocas del Toro is where the scene of the sloth swimming in Planet Earth 2 was filmed!), a snorkeling spot where we saw some cool fish, and finally Zapatilla island which was beautiful and where we had drinks and swam in the sea
    - Playing cards with new and old friends at a hostel for a few hours before going to a bar
    - Visiting starfish beach, where we saw lots of... Starfish! Really cool to snorkel and see lots of them, and a beautiful beach too

    Lowlights:
    - Seeing dolphins and dolphin bay didn't feel very nice as there were loads of boats around and half chasing them - wouldn't have gone had we known and we asked to leave there early!

    Food and drinks:
    - Coconut daiquiris at Aqua Lounge
    - Burgers from a shack - delicious and cheap!
    - We went to a street taco van 3 times - fish tacos were so good!
    - Breakfast of Arepas (stuffed corn dough tortillas) from a Colombian restaurant to give us a taste of what's to come!
