Bringing in the New Year

When New Years came about we were still hanging out in

the rain at Bocas... We ended up in a great little Hostel - Boca Backpackers - with a great group of people that felt more

like a share house then a backpackers. We spent the night hanging out at the various gringo drinking holes before hitting up Splash once

again. From there we did one of the more stupid things on the trip and swam back to Bocas in the dark, instead of taking the 50 cent water taxi. (you can see how far splash is from the main land from the Christmas photos). We swam right up into the Wreck Deck bar (which is a bar built around a wreck funnily enough) to avoid the 15 dollar cover charge. We were so happy to have survived the swim and avoid the gaint squid and baracooders, that we were certain inhabited the area, that we didn´t see the armed marshal waiting for us . We got escorted out of the pub, in our underwear in which we had swam. All and all an eventful night.

Other ohotos here include signs of sun, us chilling out at a restaurant over a reef, and us hanging out at red frog beach.

Hope you all had an awesome New years, and all the best in 2007. We leave Panama today and speak to you from Guatamala.
