Made it to Bocas del Toro, Panama 🏝️🇵🇦

The journey and border control to Panama went really smoothly 🤗 at first, we were a bit unsure if everything was in order, as it didn't look at all like an official authority. In a simple little junk shop, we paid the exit tax from Costa Rica, and after the bridge (border), we found only a container where we received our entry stamp for Panama 😄 but well - it worked out 👍🏼

In our opinion, Bocas del Toro is a MUST when you vacation in Panama 🤩 we had our accommodation on Isla Bastimentos, right by the water with hammocks and a really chill vibe 🥰☺️ From there, we could easily explore the surrounding islands (you can only get from A to B with water taxis, which cost about $5 per person on average)

On the first day, we first made ourselves at home on our own island and went swimming at Wizard Beach 🏝️

The next day was very changeable 🌦️ but Magge wasn't feeling great anyway 🤕 so it was only half as bad that we spent the day at our accommodation.

The next day, we made our way to Isla Colón, the main island of Bocas. Once there, we first had a coffee ☕️ and then took the public bus to Starfish Beach, where we - as the name suggests - encountered numerous starfish 😍 it was really beautiful! Surrounded by turquoise waters and stunning starfish 🤗 In the evening, we had dinner on Isla Colón and managed to get back before complete darkness set in (a bit spooky on the water when it is pitch black 😄)

On the last day, we took the water taxi to Carenero Island, where we thoroughly enjoyed the day in the sun 🔆🌊👙🍹

On Sunday, we were picked up really early (5:30 AM 🥱) because we were going to continue with the shuttle from Almirante to Panama City 🚌 The actual 10-hour bus ride unfortunately turned into 13 hours because we were stuck in traffic 😮‍💨 so we arrived completely exhausted at our accommodation around 9:30 PM 😴 looking back, we should have just dug deeper into our pockets and taken a flight - but you never know that in advance 😄

K&M 🤍
