After my time in Bastimentos I got an offer to couch surf in Bocas Town. Ironically, that host was the manger of the hostel that I would have gone other ways anyways :D
I had another 2 lovely days in Bocas, mainly organizing my future travels, partying (my English friends went to exactly that hostel), and visiting some more beaches.

There is one thing Bocas that really bothered me. It is very hard to find good Bananas. I grew up thinking that Panama is a dream country mainly because they got bananas (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oh,_wie_sch%C3%B6n_ist_Panama). However, most shops here sell only Platanos (bananas for cooking). They few real bananas they got are either really green (and not eatable, I tried) or over ripe and cracked open. Bananas were my main staple food in South America (cheap, available, healthy and nutritious) so I was very disappointed :P
