Boquete, Panama

On to the mountain town of Boquete, which is on the beginning of the continental divide between the Pacific and the Caribbean in the west of Panama. So it's a bit cooler but also more prone to rain (like right now). This is coffee growing country for those who like such things and there is also good walking in the cloud forest here. So the outing for the day was a guided walk which could almost have been through NZ bush (and sometimes farmland). Not many large animals today, just very poisonous caterpillars, deceased snakes and the usual spectacular birdlife.
Nice bromeliads by Romany which sometimes contain tiny poison arrow frogs with outsize voices
Walking back into the town after our bush trek there was a free garden tour where some rich and somewhat crazed personnage has given free reign to all their child hood desires. The plants were nice but not a touch on the cows.
And what garden is complete without a giant pink flamingo!
