Back to Bocas

Bocas may 10-11
Back in Bocas we went back to Hostel Heike and the lady there let us store and dry our things, gave us coffee and offered us pancakes. We then decided to make a day trip over to Isla Bstimentos to see Red Frog beach and find some chocolate. On the boardwalk to the beach we saw three caimens in the swamp, just little guys though, a few feet long.
These little guys were practicing their stealth skills sliding under water silently and hiding in the muddy water
Holding a red poison dart frog. Made Rigel's hand feel warm until he washed.


We ordered some pizza at the restaurant before heading out in search of chocolate. We were told La Loma's is only reachable by boat and there were no boats at the dock to take us there so we settled on the little shop 'Up in the Hill' which we were told sells all sorts of wonderful things including chocolate but as the name implies its up on the hill and since we were on the wrong side of the island we had to take the long trail to it and it was muddy. The shop was really nice, we bought a ton of chocolate and ordered a hot chocolate made with coconut milk. Delicious!

The walk down the hill to Old Bank was no where near as hard and we were quickly on our way back to Bocas. We ended up staying at Heike again that night. On our last day in Bocas we explored the beaches on Isla Colon and doing some laundry before heading to the ferry around 3.
