The bocas del toro islands are in the northwest of Panama. There are several islands that are interesting. The main island of Colon is a famous international partytown. And I was there during springbreak. So I saw more americans that I wished for, who were testing their alcohol consumption limits. A lot of drinking games and senseless yelling. The island was a bit overpriced, but the food was good. I got to know two swiss guys from Gstaad, who were looking for surfboards they could take to the pacific. We played some chess and drank some beers.
After three days I've seen enough and went to the neigbhouring island of Bastimiento. It's much more laidback and the perfect place to hide from the people, who were taking a Santa Semana weekend in paradise. Sadly I god sick - a cold - and had to rest or a few days. The good thing about it, was that I finally found the time to do some reading. "Steppenwolf" from Hermann Hesse I liked very much. Some parallels to my live are apparent. "Fast Food Nation" - a book my brother said I'll have to read - was really reveiling. I still go to fast food joints but less often and with a bad feeling.
Twoards the end of my stay I felt good again and went through the jungle to a hidden beach. NICE
