walkings

That´s right kids, after three days of studying and swimming with a big tank on my back i´ve officially graduated as an open water diver. As part of the course we got to do four open water dives in different locations. The highlight of this whole ordeal was diving around a sunken boat. I wasn´t allowed to go in but just checking it out was really cool. this place ranks up there as one of the highlihts even without the diving experiences though.

I´m staying at the hostel Monte Teitu. Two of the three nights i´ve been here someone volunteered to head an absolutely amazing meal. The first night an israeli guy spent the entire evening, with the help of about 6 volunteers, creating one of the best meals i´ve ever had. Home made everything, four courses, and he managed to feed over 30 people with leftovers. WOW. Then last night another dude, inspired by Nir (the israeli), made another meal for around 15 of us. Also really amazing. This guy has hopes of opening a restaurant somewhere on the island. Then, on top of all this, the hostel has a bar in the back with 50 cent beers during happy hour/$1 normally. It should go without saying that i´m enjoying Bocas Del Toro. Tomorrow i think i´m going to pack up though and see what the surrounding islands have to offer. Apparently one of the survivor seasons was filmed on one of them. should be fun.
