We were ready for pick up outside the hostel at 5 AM. We waited for a while and were picked up by a big and way to flashy SUV. And then we spent around one hour going around Panama city picking up more people and looking for the "right" Hilton hotel and the last couple of guests. A short stop at a supermarket out of town and then 1½ hours of driving too fast on narrow roads. Just a short stop at the "border post" to have our passports checked. Technically we are leaving Panama for Kuna territory. Mikkels passport was in this back pack in the back of the car but that wasn't a problem. The guard at the border just gave him an extra scrutinizing look and he got through.
Then we got dropped off at the pier, found our boat and spent 30 minutes in the boat going to the small island of "Isla Aroma". We left our stuff in our tent and were told to be ready in 20 minutes, which suddenly was 5 minutes and then "vamos, vamos". We will need to adjust to "island time" in the next couple of days.
Then we headed off to another small island by boat - now wearing swim suits. 15 minutes by boat and we were at a small island. We spent three hours there, relaxing a bit in the sun and in the shade before the boat took us back to "home" for lunch. Fish, rice and lentils for lunch. Something we were going to have for the next couple of days.
We spent the rest of the day hanging out on our island, staying on the beach and taking a few swims on the ocean as the sun set. Also, pelican watching was nice as they continued to dive for fish - again and again.
Dinner was served after sunset and then we headed to bed in our small tent. What's not to like about this place.
