After too many days of relaxing, I was ready to move on. Another short bus ride to the border, and a small bridge crossing by foot later, I was in Panama. Since Bocas is a chain of islands, we hopped a water taxi for the hour boat ride to the main island.
The boat took us through backwaters with all sorts of birds around, then into a larger body of water. This connected to the sea at various points, but was protected from the waves. It was wierd watching the waves break so far out. I snapped a bunch of pictures for visual aids.
In this area, the normal mode of transportation seemed to be canoes dug out of a single large tree. They used this for everything from fishing, to banana transportation, to going to visit the neighbors.
We finally arrived at the island after an idyllic and refreshing journey and settled in to the third cool hostel of my trip. More on that later...
