The most popular destinations in Panama are Boquete, which is a little mountain village located in the Panama highlands, Bocas Del Toros which is on the Caribbean side, and of course Panama city, the capital. I decided to go to all three and make the most out of my last week of vacation.
The cab driver, Alexandre, was so nice. He couldn't find my hostel, and I accidentally deleted the directions. After driving around for a while, I asked him to just drop me off near the market so I can go look around and figure it out.
As I started walking towards the residential area, a lady with bright red lips, holding a dog, asked me what I was looking for. I told her the name of my hostel, but she said it closed down. I thought that was so weird. She asked me to follow her, I kind of didn't have a choice, so I followed her. She asked around for me. Then a cab driver stopped us. "Que pasa?" the lady asked. I turned around and it was Alexandre! He was with a local guy who apparently knew where the hostel was, so I went with them. Isn't he so nice? 99% of people would just move on with their day after getting their payment, but he asked around, made phone calls and came back for me! I was so touched! Nice people are awesome, haha.
We finally found the hostel. The hostel was indeed closed and opened in a new location. There was nobody in the hostel, but it was very clean and the beds were so comfortable. I was happy!
I went in town, had a coffee, made some travel arrangements. I wanted to do rafting, but there were not enough people doing it. That's the inconvenience of travelling alone sometimes.
Here are some pictures taken around Boquete...
