End of August we took a quick trip to check out the Caribbean side of panama with some friend. We set off for bocas del toro and took a water taxi to isla colón
Some of the hotels and houses were half on land half on water we stayed in one of these places called las olas!
Lots of cute places to stay!
Breakfast and coffee on the water. This was at our hotel.
The girl there who worked at the hotel and made our coffee was a sister!!!
She lived on a different island but took a Water taxi in for work and meetings everyday!
The first day we toured around the pretty beaches. Took a $1 water taxi to a tiny island called carenero. It was really pretty buuuut the sand fleas were insaaane so many bites it was horrible but got some good pics! :)
That's Tom out snorkelling haha
Cute little hut on the island
This place is for rent! No windows, doors, and missing the back wall haha!
Stopped in here for some yummy piña coladas for happy hour!
While we were there we met two sisters from Denmark! The one closest to me is Mai, she's a twin from Korea adopted as babies by a witness family in Denmark. She is serving in changuinola in the Spanish congregation. Really fun! The other sister, Simone, was here for a teaching job. It's was her last weekend in panama and then she was off to Denmark.
The second day we took a tour around bocas!
We brought javi with us from porton! Him and another brother are young ministerial servants taking care of a small congregation by themselves, they have some awesome stories and lots coming into the truth there many studies at the meetings and a couple even baptized :)
Dolphins!
Stopped here for lunch!! Water was unbelievably clear!
We did some snorkelling and you can't tell here but the coral in some spots was incredible! So many bright colors it was amazing, the coral was better then fish for sure.
Tom was feeding the parrots! They were friendly
Not sure that I would get this close though... Haha
Island zapatilla! Prettiest island I have seen :) white sand blue water, even rained a bit and still was great to be at :)
Lots of cool things to see in bocas we had a great tour!
Then we went for some delicious food at a place called boca art. Run by two guys from Spain, all their food looked like pieces of art
Colin found sushi!
Here's where the bananas come from!!
Well that's it for bocas, this time anyways we will definitely be back!
