    Oxford

    The name Oxford comes from the old term 'Oxanforda' which literally meant a ford (shallow crossing) in the river where the cattle (Oxen) could cross safely. Residents and natives of Oxford are known as Oxonians.

    Canopy River Hike

    We've been a tad inactive and couch-potato-ish lately so we decided to go on a hike in the mountains (Sierra Madre Occidental) last Wednesday. We forewent the thrilling zip-lining and ATV tours despite the conflicting information as to whether it was a 12km or 8km long hike.

    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.

    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!
