17 hours of traveling does wonders to your ass

I could almost see the “finish line”. At the same time I knew there was lots of interesting things on the way. One of those interesting things was the countries most pristine tourist atraction, Bocas Del Toro. These apparently beautiful Caribbean islands had to wait for some other time.
