Hello my friends, now we are
landed four in Santa Catalina. If on Tuesday with three different coaches (1 stop in Santiago and one in Sonia) driven by Chitre from this famous surf spot, which we have read in many guidebooks ("In-funky spot for surfers from all over the world"). Here it is incredibly beautiful, in fact, but still not overrun by other tourists. There is the "city center" (consisting of a supermarket, 2 bars, a few restaurants and phone booths) and distributed several large area of accommodation. Our home, the Cabanas "Las Palmeras" are - sweet little red huts on a hill with beautiful sea views. Each lodge has a small veranda and one can enjoy the perfect sunset. I make the sun rise (= Vera), unfortunately not always, as I (do sun and sea air really tired; accelerates fatigue is occasionally even by the delicious local beer Balboa:) soooo long sleep).
In Santa Catalina, it can be applied to all cases bear good: the food is super delicious and very cheap. We often eat local cuisine (fresh fish or chicken with rice, per person costs only 3 dollars), but were already eating pizza or a funny Texan who in his small bar (beach front) conjures fantastic burritos. Panama seem at all a popular destination for emigrants to be. Day before yesterday I have Ines & we rented a surfboard and surf shop was firmly in the hands of four Bavarian girls who have settled here in Santa Catalina.
Speaking of surfing: surf here is especially on the Reef (more like dangerous with lots of stones, for there are also good waves), we limit ourselves to the peaceful beautiful girls Beach Break, where we can at most times spin on soft sand. Yesterday we were out once in a half-day (with professional teacher Bernd; like to thank for countless times in the push-wave!) And it is really great fun. The water is warm and the beach is very clean = just perfect! Incredible amount of humidity we have here by the way, everything sticks and you could every half-hour hop into the shower. Almost jungle-like! Once a day (usually early evening), the heavens opened its gates and it rains in torrents for about one quarter of an hour. Since parallel to the sun, rainbows arise out of a picture book ...
Today will probably be gone early times in the Hela, yesterday evening after we are a bit swamped with our Canadian neighbors Cabana. Ines do tomorrow and I may start again a surf-trial and not later on Sunday we'll go by public buses continue to Boquete. There is a volcano ("Baru") and great hiking opportunities - also supposedly the best coffee in all of Panama. We are excited and looking forward ...
Until next time!
Besitos, Ines y Vera
PS: The camera is, unfortunately, especially in our cabana. Images are another time later!
