Mellow day and last night in Bocas...




Saturday was our last full day at the aqua lodge (sigh...). We had a mellow day, went into town for lunch, chilled out and went back to the lodge for dinner. We were hoping that the weather was going to cooperate and that it wouldn´t be raining that evening. All worked out. We took the water taxi into town with the lodge staff. They got off work at 10, so we hitched a ride. The ride into town was amazing. The weather was fantastic and there were so many stars in the sky, a site to remember for sure. One of the staff at the lodge, Angelo, took us to Bar Undido for a night of dancing. Poor Tab, Angelo was relentless and I tried to save her but...well you know. I danced most of the night away. The music was pretty good. They played a lot of reggae and salsa mucic, as well as some hip hop and merengue. We took a water taxi back to the lodge and crashed out.

The next day, we were off to Puerto Viejo in Costa Rica. In order to get there from Bocas, you have to take a water taxi to the town of Guabito and then a taxi to the border. The boat ride was like being in a car with Mario Andretti. The driver was a maniac and I think bi-polar...he´d go super fast and then slow way down and then super fast again. The scenery was gorgeous though and we made it there without incident. And then came...freak out numero dos...
