Semana dos

Moderately more activity in our second week, managed to drag ourselves away from the hammock for a few outings including to another island for a Thai meal. Thank god we were with someone who knew the way as it involved a walk through the forest in the dark and mud!! But was totally worth it. What else? We went to a cooking class at the Spanish school which was fun – mostly we remember the rum and the rain and not the cooking but it definitely tasted good!! I think there was ice cream... and some dancing which is testament to the amount of rum when it comes to Gio and dancing!
We also decided to take the bus out to Estrella beach – starfish beach and see the ‘hundreds’ of brightly coloured starfish we have been hearing about. After much walking and swimming and goggles filled with water we discovered about 5 in total. The highlight was a fish jumping over Gio’s head when he was swimming but apparently we need a return visit as no one can believe we managed to miss ALL the starfish!
As is an almost daily occurrence in Bocas a big storm hit on Thursday which we enjoy as part of the craziness of Bocas – especially the puddle I found that went up to my knees, Gio found that more entertaining than I did...
This weekend we hit the beach and spent a chilled out Sunday snorkelling and being entertained by the crazy ghost crabs on the beach – we are officially very easily entertained!
