The Panamanian Post: 21 - 26 March 2015

One step and into Panama!

The infamous bridge / walkway between Costa Rica and Panama

Just a few boats waiting out for the dolphins...

Not too sure of the rounding up methods but they were there all the same...!

Rudy contemplating tax law...

Not!

Jetty of an island in Bocas Del Toro.

Up close and snorkelling...

Colourful starfish, right under your feet!

Spot the starfish!

Having a little kip waiting for the rest of the tour group to finish their expensive lunch!

I saw a fish this big!

Playing around with the self timer!

Sunshine, turquoise waters....

Has snorkel, will travel!

I'll leave this comment to Rudy!

Jumping isn't something we do everyday... I think I should jump more!

Best dinner we had in Bocas del Toro - 'Firefly'. Delicious!

Flying Air Panama - problem on the runway....

Flat tyre - lucky we're not going on that one...

Panama City!

Old and the new in Panama City!

The Costa Rican Courier: 12 - 20 March 2015

Welcome to Costa Rica! Sweat dripping, chicken bus kinda day... 

What are you looking at?

Costa Rican coffee fix

Playa Grande - scouting Carla's first surf destination in Costa Rica

"Water Hog" getting ready for the surf (referring to board, not Rudy)

The locals at Playa Negra - right hand reef break.

Rudy demonstrates how not to cross a river in a rental car... See video on Instagram!

Iguana spotting '101' with Carla Dyson - rural Costa Rica

Passing through the town of Samara (Pacific Coast)

Sunset from Pizza Tree House! Most adventurous day yet...

Pizza tree house on the road to Santa Teresa!

Having fun with the self timer!

We finally made it to Santa Teresa (with the immeasurable help of a night time local river crossing guide)

Our room in Santa Teresa - this guy thought it was his...!

Watching the local footballers battle it out.

Cindy the NavMan led us on the path... To a locked gate... 

View over Santa Teresa from Cindy's 'off' navigation!

Beautiful bay at Motezuma on the way to the waterfalls

Montezuma waterfall lower section - not a walk for those who have difficultly walking.... 

Cooling off under the waterfall upper section

The steep climb to get down to the waterfall & back up again..!

Admiring the waterfall in the dry season

Sunset from the ferry! Hasta luego Nicoya Peninsula!

How lucky is the last car to make it on?!

Sunset from the ferry - looks like a whale spouting!

View over Jaco! Surf report incorrect.

On the road again - crossing from the Pacific Coast to the Caribbean with a new Nav-Man.

Gecko, gecko, gecko...

2 for 1 mojito's at Marco's Pizza (best wood fired pizza we've ever had!)

That second one was actually Rudy's....!

Cat with tude!

Rudy's first Caribbean surf.

Lucky he's got a photographer on the beach! Like a pro!

Puerto Viejo - beautiful little Caribbean seaside town.

Hasta luego Costa Rica - on the infamous bridge walk to Panama
