After a good night of rest I took the day bus from Panama City to Boquete. The 12h drive through the mountains was quite uneventful apart from my 30 min in high emotional stress. I felt asleep on the bus and couldn't find my phone when the bus stopped for a break. (Turned out that it got stuck between the seats?)
Anyways, I arrived safely in the mountain town of Boquete, famous for coffee, hiking tracks and US retirement homes. “Hiking?,”, yeah, as expected pretty much everybody in the hostel spoke German (including the reception). They told me that around 90% of their recent guest were German spekers. I could have been warned. I got the tip with Boquete in Guna Yala, where most tourists were German speaking as well (after traveling for so long you find the certain tourist patterns)
Anyways, I spend some really relaxing days here, writing my, blog, doing some hiking and visit the hot springs. The town itself is REALLY quiet, The tourist industry is very limited (and overprized), so you just grab a bus and drive wherever you wanna go.
