More on Bastimentos, Panama

A total of tour of us made our way to these Caribbean islands in Panama. Maria from Ireland, Mark from Ohio and Tyler from Seattle. When we got there it was raining.

* Trek to the beach. I hour through the mountain on muddy make shift paths in flip flops. There were some places where I had to go barefoot because I was sliding downhill because it was so muddy. I slid downhill anyways barefoot. I was worth it when we arrived. Powdery yellow sand and warm water.

* Tour around the island. $15 USD for a guy to take us to see dolphins, go snorkeling around a coral reef and to see red frogs on Red Frog Beach. Dolphin chasing consisted of 5-6 other boats in one area racing to spots where there was commotion in the water. We saw about 6 or so. Snorkeling was in semi-muddy water but we got to see a barracuda shark and a number of multicoloured fish. Red Frog beach was not full of red frogs. In fact, there were about 3. But we did get to see them. They’re red and the size of a dime.
