Bocas minus one...










Karen left us on Friday morning. But, we tried to get some snorkeling in before she left. There wasn´t much to see. Apparently, around our cabin was supposed to be the best stuff but we didn´t see much. Adios for now Karen...buen viaje!

Tab and I took a private boat tour that day. Our tour included a ride to Bahia de los delfines, lunch, and a trip to red frog beach on Isla Bastimentos. We arrived at the Bahia de los delfines and immediately saw another boat stopped with tourists taking pictures. I had never seen dolphins before (other than sea world) and this was pretty amazing. We hung out there for quite a while just listening to the delfines come up for air and swimming around. I loved watching the mom and her baby just cruise around. At one point, it was like one of them said "I am out of here" because out of the blue, he took off really fast jumping in and out of the water. Los delfines were one of the major highlights of my travels so far.

After the dolphins, we ate lunch and made our way to red frog beach. We thought that we were going to see the little red frogs that this beach was named after, but it was really just a drop off to hang out on this gorgeous beach and chill in the sun. Tab was determined to see the little red frogs so we had Estefan, our driver, take us up the beach to a forested area to find frogs for us. He did and we were happy!

We thought we might go out that night, but it was raining and in order to get to town you have to take a water taxi and we weren´t in the mood to go out and arrive soaking wet. We had a chill evening at the aqua lodge.
