We 'took a day off ' and went with some new friends to Changuinola. Don't you love these names?? The trip there and back is worth it alone. You catch a water taxi in town for $6.oo and travel high speed to a canal that leads to the river...the turns and obstacles he's veering around remind you of the crazy taxi drivers in some of these countries--only you're on the water! It was very scenic and picturesque. At one point we came to a crawl because the water lilly's/hyacinths are completely across the river; we had to plow our way through and clean the prop off after. After a 40 min. ride, you get off at a dock, and take a taxi ($1.50) the few miles through a banana plantation to town. Changuinola is a bigger town than Bocas, and has a better selection at the grocery and hardware stores. A few hours later, we reversed our travels to come back to Infini.
