24 Jul - 1 Aug 09 - Panama City, Panama

We spent a bit of time exploring Panama City and it was time to say goodbye to Amy and Ceaser (they were off to Buenos Aires) With a few days to spare before we got to see Amy and Sym (friends form back home that have sailed from Portsmouth) we went off scuba diving in a place called Santa Catalina.










21 - 24 July 09 - Bocas Del Toro, Panama

Still travelling with Amy and Ceaser we crossed an impressive bridge into Panama.
We had to get a speed boat over to Bocas del Toro on Isla Colon and then when you are there you travel everywhere by water taxi.
All have us have heard good things about Bocas being the ultimate party place.. and we weren't dissapointed! We went to a place called Agua Lounge where it was free cocktails for girls until 11pm. Obviously we were keen to take advantage of this deal and developed a system to get an unlimited supply of drinks for Alex aswell. The photos paint the picture...





20th July 09 Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica

We were ambushed by locals when we arrived in the sleepy town of Puerto Viejo, they were all trying to convince us that their hostels were the best. We were here with our new friends Polly and Amy ( two girls from New Zealand who we met in Monteverde) We dumped our bags in our hostel and all went for a sunset walk along the beach only to discover Polly aka Ceaser Milan the Dog Whisperer absolutely loves all dogs especially the manky ones! We had about 10 following us.
We went for an amazing meal - fish tacos, a new favourite. Half way through our meal a huge sloth started crawling across the beam above our heads..it was such a weird creature.






17 - 19 July 09 - Monteverde, Costa Rica

We arrived at Monteverde - our only reason for being here was to go Zip Lining. Everyone had told us that this is the best place to do it.
The Zip Lines were huge, some were over 1 km long it felt so dodgy just flying through the forest.
The zip lining thing is a really good look..we both look very special..






The ziplines were set in the cloud forest where they had a reptile santuary and hummingbird garden.

Hello Everybody
