Somedays you just open your eyes and you automatically start smiling. You maybe tired from the long hard days at the beach or the sun following you wherever you go but the paradise smile will never fail you in Bocas.
My days here continues and I really didn´t do much but chillin´.
The Holy Week or Semana Santa as it´s called here in Latinamerica accured now when I was here.
It commemorates the last week of the earthly life of Jesus Christ before his crucifixion on Good Friday and his resurrection on Easter Sunday. It includes the religious holidays of Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday (Holy Thursday) and Good Friday, and lasts from Palm Sunday until but not including Easter Sunday. It was nice to experiance it although if you weren´t Christian or Catholic. The way it affected all the visitors was that all the bars and restaurants stopped selling alcohol during Maundy Thursday until noon Saturday. But we made it through anyway ;-)
One day me and my new friends Jethro and Tim went to Red Frog beach and the Island Bastimentos to try out the surfing there. The waves wasn´t to great but we caught some water anyway, and some sun for that matter and we got to see some red frogs. Reminder, never touch a red frog cause they´re poisonous.
I spent four days here in Bocas. I wish I could stay longer cause here there is no stress, no worries. Only nice people, not so many tourists, some backpackers, nice hostels, great brekfast places, sweet restaurants, one local bar that was the best ever, and much much more....
Special thanks to Kathrine and here restaurant Ultimo Refugio for the best food in Central America!
