19 January 2008 - Ikotpu Island, San Blas Islands, Panama
Pretty much as expected on the basis of Rangiroa; this was to be our desert island dream and bbq. A very small island with only 2 buildings where we arrived about 8 in the morning. However, we were preceded by the local Canu Indians with their assorted wears, so the commercials were set up prior to our arrival.
We spent a pleasant few hours on a hired deck chair - a dollar apiece - in the breeze and under the shade of palms, taking care to avoid any coconut drops. In fact, one weighing about 5 kilos dropped about 10 metres from us, so it was a smart precaution. The weather was hot, the swimming was great and the bbq was fine. However, we could only do this once in a while. In some ways, negotiating the tiny San Blas archipelago was as interesting as any specific islands.
