To Bolivia and more plans

Today I head to La Paz in Bolivia, whereabouts I join another tour group and explore only a few of the many  highlights Bolivia has to offer. I have also made some new plans…

Panama then Barbados

Another vacation in my vacation, currently laying over in Panama on my way to Barbados for a long weekend with a friend from the US.

After that I get back to serious travelling with my Bolivia section. First up a tour of the highlights around La Paz, then the mountain climb. That should be "fun".

End of Panama trip, beginning of idle time

Today marks the last day of the Intrepid Costa Rica to Panama trip. It’s been great. I think I enjoyed the Guatemala to Costa Rica better, but this leg was still awesome. 

Tropical beaches are easy to love

Bocas del Tora is a very popular tropical destination in Panama and it’s easily to see why. It’s very beautiful here, and the beaches and swimming is fantastic. While it is expensive here, but only compared to other places in Panama and Latin America. I’ll be in Bermuda in a couple of weeks and I’ll be able to compare the quality vs cost, but I suspect Bocas del Tora at this time of year will come out on top of that equation.

The only sad note is the coral is all dead so while snorkelling is nice, it’s nothing to what it must have been.

Bye bye Costa Rica, hello Panama

Today we leave Costa Rica and we are currently in a mini bus in Panama. 

Last night we went to a local restaurant of sorts and learned how to make some local Costa Rican meals. 

It’s been quite a full on journey, even with my 3 days rest in Costa Rica. Fortunately I have a week in Aruba booked in a couple of weeks — if that doesn’t give me enough rest I don’t know what will.

Next up Panama then Sth America

 Panama

Next up after this trip (Not until the 16th of March), I’m then going to Panama via the Caribbean side of Central America, and after that…
