when i wanted to buy my ticket for the shuttle to Bocas del Torro, the boleteria was closed. spontaneously i decided to buy the much cheaper local bus ticket. that was a mistake, i needed 5 hours instead of 3 h and they charged me more less the same because i was too late for the local bus in panama... in the collectivo i met two dutch girls took me with to the hostel.
the aqua lounge was a very special hostel builded completly on the water. the outside terrace had big pool like holes in the ground to jump into the sea and swings and a big trampoline! normally a pretty chilled hostel on very local and smooth island, but on wednesdays (i arrived wednesday) and sundays the hole village comes to the hostel for the big parties.
the first party night was ok, but not that special, i met tom and the guys and hung around with a couple of dutch guys. we went together to a restaurant and had some delicious meals. the only problem was that one of the dutch guys didn't speak english fluently and i didn't speak dutch.... but it was funny!
i went on a hole day boat trip to a lot of different places. for example a dolphin bay where we saw a group of dolphins. we went to a very shallow area where a lot of sea stars and cucumbers laid on the ground. the main attraction of the the trip were 2 untoched islands a bit outside of the island group. we visited one very beautiful and had 2 hours there. my group was perfect and we laughed a lot during our stay. the island was tiny and we went half around always on the nice perfect beach. because of that nobody lives there the beach was spiked buy some dropped down palmtrees. i pick a coconut from a small tree and smashed it open. some coconut milk is the best refreshing drink on a lonely island! on the way back we met some dolphins aigain and i deciced to jump into the water to swim with them, but once in the water i got scared of their hugeness and they disapeared directly. in addition i recognized that i lost my sunnys during the jump in the water.we stopped at a restaurant and grabed some food and last but not least we went to another place to see some wild sloths. one of them was very closed to us and reacted on my sounds with turning his head in 2 minutes, unbelievable quick!
We chilled plenty of time in the hostel and i hung around with two friendlzy and funny german guys and a couple of girls from austria. more or less the first time i spoke that much german on my trip. we cooked and ate together and had a good time. once we all went together to the red frog beach and fortunately at the best and sunniest day we had in bocas, because the rain season had already started there. we spend a couple of hours on the the beach drank some beer, played football or had fun in the water with the amazing and strong waves. it was a beautiful day with the saturday hostel party in the night. i was really sorry for peter when he asked me if we should smoke a good night joint together, because we bought it together but i smoked the rest alone. so we decided to go with the water taxi to the main insland and buy some weed. it wasn't easy to find a dealer in the middle of the night and the only local we net gave us a really bad price, but we something to smoke. after that we only wanted to go back to the hostel and smoke a joint. it was raining cats and dogs and the village was totally deserted, even the docks were empty and we were very afraid that we didn't find a possibility to go back to our hostel. but at the third dock a lonely captain was waiting for us and made us a happy end.
