    The Lost Waterfalls

    One of my favourite things about travelling is meeting new people from around the world, sharing our experiences, discussing our cultural differences, and asking any burning questions we may have about their country of origin.

    Suspension Bridge Hike

    As Axl Rose from Guns 'n Roses wisely said ... "Welcome to the Jungle" Got up at 7:00 this morning aiming to make a last minute booking for a hike along the Pipeline trail - but unfortunately, there were no availabilities for the next few days. However, the company next door offered a suspension bridge hike, and within two minutes we were seated on a safari bus, making our way to some place in Palo Alto. And by "some place" I mean this:

    Arriving in Boquete

    After an hour's drive from David - the city in which we landed - we arrived in the mountainous town of Boquete, and first impressions (in my opinion at least) were very good.

More stray cats…

    Panama Canal

    Got to the Miraflores Lock early this morning in the hope of seeing a ship going through the locks. Unfortunately, on arrival there was the last ship of the morning already in the last section - so not much to witness for the US$40 paid.

    Valparaíso

    Explored the vibrant streets of Valparaíso, which are covered in beautiful street art and colourful Italian and German-style buildings. Absolutely in love with the aesthetic of this place!
