Bocas del Torro

We have been staying here for a week which has mostly been spent diving - see other post.

The other main activity we took here was a day birding by boat around the mainland and visiting bird island. I will do a blog post on this shortly.

Bocas is currently a work in progress. They have ripped up all the roads and are replacing the drainage, pavement and surfaces but they seem to be doing this one piece of equipment at a time. Also there was a major fire a few days before we arrived and a 4 storey hotel on the waterfront was destroyed.

Our Airbnb Accomodation was nice enough but a tad on the small side. It is a converted shipping container (quite common here) and they were a bit cheeky in pretending the bed was long ways across the room in photos (see mine).

Tomorrow we head to Panama City so boat, taxi and ten hour bus.Read more
