Beaches and beers

Now have three or four days on an island in the gulf of Chiriqui marine park. Hundreds of islands, jungle (complete with monkeys - Maybe should have got those rabies shots), and beaches.

Stunning location for the hotel, although it is really a backpacker place rather than a hotel, and a great place just to chill for a while. Will probably just live in a hammock for the next couple of days and read. Ok, that may be a bit of a waste, so will do so treks and kayaking etc. First though have to fix my thong which blew out on the walk to room last night. Was a bit pissed so probably took a corner too hard and the $4.50 Woolies flip flops couldn't handle the side strain...

Spend the first day here before going to the hotel on a glorious beach with Olga, Geovanna, and Melvyn who drove me here and we all had a day at the beach. I'm amazed that there aren't more locals here, but it is also the last day of the David feria so that would keep some away. And it's not easy to get he (unless you have a family to drive you!). Getting back will mean a water taxi, bus to the next town or maybe the interamericana, then wait there to flag down a passing bus.

Anyway, as I now have wifi again just posting some pages and uploading photos.

Hasta,
