    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.

    Pipeline Trail

    Went on another hike on Sunday - on the "Pipeline Trail". Not as scenic/photogenic as the previous hike but this time we were in the search of the highly elusive Resplendent Quetzal (Bird), Howler Monkeys and Sloths.

    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:

    Christmas Eve

    If you don't want to hear/see about food ... skip this one! Decided to treat ourselves seeing as we are in a "strange" country and all alone (hope you feel sorry for us??), so made a last minute booking at The Rock Restaurant. And whilst MUCH more pricey than I'd ordinarily spend - it was well worth it.

    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. The scenery is noticeably more lush than both Santiago and Panama City, and the sound of the nearby stream constantly rushing really adds to the serenity of the place we're staying.
