MAP VIEW OF 6 ISLAS OF BOCAS DEL TORO

Buenos!

I don't see Almirante, the port where you pick up the water taxi out to the islands, on this map, but I think it's on the finger of the mainland that sticks out toward Boca Torito.  Almirante is on the mainland and is a major shipping port for Chicquita.

CORAL CAY: ISLA BASTIMENTOS

On our next trip to Bocas del Toro, want to visit Red Frog Beach (again) and also the Restaurant at Coral Cay on the other end of this island.  Apparently the restaurant is a series of thatched huts with great, simple seafood-based Panamanian food.  The huts hover over beautiful coral reefs and sea life is visible from your table.  Don't arrive hungry as it apparently takes several hours for your order to arrive and this island is CASH ONLY.

WE STAYED IN BOCAS TOWN ON ISLA COLON.

Also, read on Frommers that the beaches on Zapatillas Cays are breath taking.  Long, white sand and clear, aquamarine colored water.  Nothing really there, so bring your own drinks, snacks, etc.

Back in Boquete today and will start looking for a rental home in earnest.  Found a fabulous hostel, as nice as a hotel really, for $33/night.  Still deciding whether I'm going to give out the name -  maybe better to keep it my little secret.  BEAUTIFUL grounds right on the river, full kitchen, lovely bathroom and deck right near the gurgling river.  Sweet.

VERSE FOR THE DAY!

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
⁶ in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight.
