After 5 days of relaxing on Bocas we´ve made the move and crossed the panama-costa rica border again.  We are now in Cahuita for at least a day and then we will head back to Turrialba to pick up some things we left behind and I will head to somewhere near the san jose airport […]

Bocas del Toro… where to start.  Out of the two dives today I´d have to say I am unimpressed.  Yes, there is colorful coral, but there is not a lot of it.  The water was turbid/murkey so vis was down to about 20feet, which was fine but putting things together in my mind I can´t […]

Tomorrow I’m diving Bocas del Toro.  We’ll see how it goes and how the water is.  The town of Bocas del Toro/isla colon or whatever they call is not that great in my mind.  I guess I’m still searching for that perfect place that blends remote with slightly modern.  Punta Allen and Koh Phi Phi.  […]

Our 2 day rafting trip turned into a 3 day trip.  The river was amazing, lots of class 3 rapids all the way down with a few 4s put in there.  In the jungle there is so much flora/fauna and diversity, it is really amazing.  Our guides, Manuel, Al and Carlos are great and I […]

We’ve made it to Costa Rica. We took a Tica bus from Rivas to San Jose. The border we went through between Costa and Nicaragua was just rediculous. We probably waited 2 hours to check passports and bags (99% of the bags were not checked) so it was a waste of time, […]

After an amazing day of zip-lining, finca, butterflies and orchids we tried to grab some bus tix for the 15th to San Jose, Costa Rica but they were all sold out.  Instead we have gone to San Juan del Sur for a day of Pacific beach time.  We have arrived and tomorrow we will head […]

Hello all,
It looks like we’ll be staying in Grenada for a few days as it is a great town/city worth hanging out in.  Tomorrow the plan is to go to a small village called Masaya that has a large market that should be interesting.  The day after I think we’ll visit a nature reserve for […]

We have arrived in Grenada. After a LOT of bus time, we have arrived. Nicaragua has a lot of beautiful countryside that would be great to explore. Managua was pretty crazy as we arrived the night Ortega was re-elected (right?) as president so a lot of people were partying and it was difficult […]

Well hello all. I´m done with my Advanced Open Water and had 8 dives on the great reef right outside of Roatan. Today has been a long travel day, a solid 14 hours. We hopped on the ferry, which was considerably better than last time, to La Ceiba and then a taxi […]

The past two days I’ve been diving a lot, 2 times yesterday and as of now I’ve done 2 today and will have a night dive tonight.  Not much else to post since we’ve just been diving mostly.
