Flashpacking my way through Central America Easier said than done…

I was recently introduced to this concept by Albert, a fellow traveler. This is apparently not a new concept as it already has a Wikipedia entry and references on the most respected travel blogs. I think this is as accurate a description as you could come by for me. I’m a paradox in what I’m...

Panamania!

As we headed down the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, the close proximity of the archipelago of Bocas del Toro was far too tempting to resist. The series Prison Break had given us a brilliant preview of the beauty of Panama (!) and we were excited to be able to experience it first hand,...

Panamá Viejo

I had planned to take a couple of trips out of the city, at the very least to see the Canal, but it looked like all I was going to see was the financial district. On the third or fourth day, I can't remember, I was starting to get over my Hooters food-poisoning and was sitting blogging in the...

Hooters Hell

After we said goodbye to Captain Fabian, we went through the rudimentary security control, our passports already having been stamped at one of the islands a few days previously, and piled into our waiting four-wheel-drive. I wasn't really sure what to expect from Panama, but it was never a...

Paradise Regained

The next day we were sailing again for an hour or so to reach our next island paradise. This one, called '''Chichime''', was primarily used as a coconut plantation, but a small section at one end of the island had been cleared to be used for tourism. There were a couple of cabins for...

Paradise Found. Paradishe Losht.

As we approached the first island it was clear that we were approaching the tropical paradise that I expected from what I had briefly read in the guide book: crystal clear, turquoise water, peppered with islands of white coral sand, covered in coconut palms; the very archetype of island...

Dolphins and Phosphorescence

Like a lot of Colombians, Captain Fabian was a really warm and friendly, genuine guy, and his excellent English ensured that very little Spanish would be spoken on the cruise. He seemed very confident of his abilities as a skipper and this confidence was very reassuring to his passengers, but he...

Panama City

We left the Kuna people at around 8 o’clock in the morning and went to Panama City and back to the same hostel where we stayed before. We got an ok dorm room that we shared with a very special person but more about him later for now let’s just say that he was sleeping a lot. After we got...

San Blas Islands

I had never heard of the San Blas Islands before. It was Christoffer’s mom who recommended us to go there. A ghetto on water. That was our first impression. We couldn’t have been more wrong. We arrived to one of these amazing islands on a cloudy Sunday morning. An island as big as 3 or 4...
