Hi everyone,
From Panama city, we caught a bus to Bocas del Toro (10 hours), where we spent a week. The white sand beaches, the Caribbean culture, vibe and food, and the amazing tropical plants and fruits here and there are all reminders that you are in the Caribbean! We caught a small swell when we arrived, and had the chance to surf in boardies, surrounded by amazing sceneries. We did a fair amount of biking in Bocas, as everything can pretty much be done by bike (unless you want to visit the other islands of course!). So we would bike 7 kms each way to the surf spots, surf, eat, chill, sleep, and this over again for three days. Then the swell dropped, so we went to Bocas del Drago on the other side of the island. Again more biking, way harder this time, but definitely worth the (hilly) ride. Starfish beach as it is called is one of the most beautiful beach I have seen, coconut trees, crystal clear water, hardly anyone, a little sheltered paradise… breathtaking. Because the swell was small we did not get the chance to surf the best spot of the archipelago on Carenero Island, but we did get some good surf at Bastimentos (another island). Wizard Beach is accessible either by boat by walking a very muddy path (it is the rainy season in the Islands). After two more days of surf at Wizard and some mud walking, we are on the road again, going to Santa Catalina on the Pacific coast. Flying to California in 8 days!
Cheers!
Marie
