Our three night stay at the Bocas Bound Hostel was very relaxing!
Our room was super comfortable with two separate sleeping areas and a dorm-sized bathroom. The restaurant had nice breakfasts and we enjoyed simple dinners there each evening in the open-aired dining room.
The jungle location was complete with all kinds of birds and insects, the sounds they made at night was deafening. Many geckos on the walls kept the population in our room down!
The Red Frog Beach was a short walk down the hill, the resort has created a lovely walking path.
The beach itself is beautiful, white sands and the clearest water you can imagine.
On the other side of the island is a marina where many people live on their sailboats, we met a few of them on the beach enjoying the day along with us.
We spent three full days sitting under a straw umbrella reading, jumping in the waves when we needed a cool rinse. The weather couldn't have been better, clear skies with a constant ocean breeze, what a perfect vacation from our vacation!
I did get whacked by a major wave on Saturday following Keith out a bit too far into the action.
The wave smacked me and carried me nearly onto the shore; I'll be rinsing off sand from hidden spaces for days! Luckily most of the water drained from my sensitive ears without causing swimmer's ear, something I have been plagued with since I was very young. The ocean is awesome and oh, so, powerful!
Today we took one speedy water taxi back to Bocas town to catch another larger water taxi to Almirante. There we caught a bus up and over the mountains to David where we shuttled to the bus station where we loaded an old school bus bound for Boquete. Our accommodations here are FANCY, the Boquete Garden Inn right on the river. We will be here for three nights while we visit gardens, coffee farms, and take birdwatching hikes in the hills nearby.
And, of course, we all have Nooks to read!
It looks wonderful...
