i am in bocas del toro for my 3 days out of the country. i took a bus from san jose at 9.00 this am and checked into a hotel on this little island in the caribbean at 6.15.
while talking to other bus passengers while waiting in line at the border i found out that we were all going to basically to the same place and so we shared a ride to get to the dock, about one hour drive, (cost $6 us each) to take the boat here.
6 of us in the car. the driver, from panama, obviously, a girl from switzerland, another from germany, a man from costa rica and another from australia. the foreigners (?) were all in their early 20's and travelling throughout central america, and all more fluent in spanish than i who have lived here for a year.
it's been an adventure getting here and i'm looking forward to tomorrow when i can see this place in daylight.
i had to laugh when the aussie exclaimed in a strong accent 'he can't see s--t' as we drove down gravel roads, going like a bat out of hell, passing big trucks that were causing huge dust storms. basically driving blind. i told the group they probably didn't want to hear about my dream last night where i was in a vehicle that was broadsided right where i was sitting.
