Panama City Travel Blogs

Hmm, that sounds rather profound, doesn't it? Well, in a way it is true. This was the last time I travelled extensively for several months, without a job waiting for me back home. After I got back home in March 2003 I had to grow up and get all serious and work on a career and all that shit. And my…

My last day in Panama city would be a relaxing one...no sightseeing or anything. I had only one goal ; to get a little bit of colour before I go back to UK...well that did`nt happen , as it was pouring down all day, typically ! I checked in to the same hostel as the last time, simply because it was…

While sleeping I was rudely woken up by a sharp pain in  my leg. i knew at once that i was either stung or bit by something but i was not sure which one. i jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom to get a look at my leg. i was praying for only one hole rather than two since normally one mean…

This was one of those trips in which very little planning was involved.  I had been looking at the American Airlines flights to Panama and saw that they were open and decided to go. Wednesday July 13 I left Indy at 1pm on an American Eagle EMB-145 to Miami and then&n…

Today we went to the Miraflores locks of the Panama canal. They are the first of 3 sets of locks in the canal. it was pretty impressive though more Wes´s thing than mine. We took a taxi out there- the traffic is of course crazy and death defying. The best things are the city buses. They are old Am…

Good thing we took it easy in Boquete because our journey to Panamá City was a LONG one!  We didn't think we'd make it in one day, but we did!  We'd prepared ourselves mentally, saying "it's gonna be tough catching a ride . . .", but to our pleasant surprise, it wasn't.  We made it …

First thing first, i do hate these Spanish computers, they dont seem to have that undo button, and i always seem to loose my first draft, this is the second time i have typed this up... grrrr.. Well we left the internet place yesterday and walked to Pavo Real, aka The peacock, the only english pub…

My brief stay in Panama City was supposed to end today as I was to meet the boat I was scheduled to take to Colombia this afternoon since it was leaving at 6am Saturday, however that was pushed back to Saturday afternoon to accomodate two other people and leave with a full boat. The bad s…

After 15 days in Belize, I returned to Panama to prepare for what is turing out to be quite a busy "rainy season".  I received alert and had been monitoring Suriname, as they also received quite a bit of rain at the beginning of June, and there is a large chance that we will also launch a…

I flew in on Friday and arrived ok. I found someone through couchsurfing and arranged to stay with him. He stays outside the city in area called Clayton. It was one of the former ten military bases all along the Panama canal. He suggested that I take a cab, but it was way too expensive so I decided…

I've been writing for many years and it has always been where I can search my soul. But now at 35, I am tired for the same few topics roaming around my mind and not being able to settle and understand one thing from the next anymore because I cannot focus on myself!!! I have been running around rag…

No breakfast available at the hostal, so we better get going. We deposited our stuff in Hospedaje Casco Viejo and went out. A bit of asking and we found a nice breakfast place in Plaza de Santa Ana, the "Coca Cola". About 5 USD/person for at nice breakfast, some guidebook reading, and then we were …
