I'm here! Jessica and I made it to Bocas del Toro this afternoon, right to our hotel by 3:30 Costa Rican time. We made it across the border with no problems, other than a few snotty New Zealanders who were too good to talk to us. We took the bus from San Jose to Sixaola at 6 this morning, walked across the border at noon, and officially entered Panama about 1 o'clock in the afternoon. An insistent minivan driver took us to Almirante, and from there the water taxi took us to Bocas Town. It's such a quaint little resort town; I fell in love with it at first sight. Another taxi driver brought us to our hotel, after a bit of a tour, and then the lady at the front desk...couldn't find our reservation. After a mild heart palpitations, I found the reservation confirmation email in my inbox, showed it to her, and we were on the way. We have a lovely room, nice and clean, and two beautiful beds complete with pillowtop covers and all. We freshened up, explored a bit, and then went and treated ourselves to a pretty good meal at the restaurant over the water.
Now we're just chillin'. We might be kindred spirits...we're both on our laptops, PC and Mac, waiting until it's a civilized hour to go to bed, and enjoying the lightning and thunder show. Tomorrow is a trip to Bocas Town, hopefully some sun and a few more cocktails... it's a wonderful life!
