Bastimentos Panama




We caught the 6>30 a.m. bus to Sixaola & walked across the bridge to Panama. After some brief bag shopping (Shar only bought about 10 string bags made from bromeliads by the indigenous people in these parts.) on Isla Colon, we made it to Bastimentos by 1--even losing an hour with the time chnge. We had something to eat. Two full meals with five drinks came to $13.35! I gave a nice tip.

We are staying at the hostal again. The cheap rooms are full so we had to take a room with a porivate bath for $15 a night. This year Enrique has Internet here. It's the only conncetion on the isalnd I think. I asked about it and was told "1 dollar for an hour or un hourhalf. If you get on for two, tree hours dan 2 dollars." I added one more photo from the reserve trip yesterday. The kids really seemed to want their pictures taken. The other photo is approaching Isla Bastimentos by water taxi.
