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…

I've added these few pics about my country so everybody could see a little about my homeland, enjoy!

I had read in my guidebook that Boquete is a great place to visit. The cool mountain air was a welcome change after the humid heat of the past four days, but the town itself didn't really have that much to offer. Yes, there are some nice treks that can be down in the surrounding hills (do *not* men…

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.

I went to Panama and stayed at the Playa Blanca resort. What an amazing week, no rain, super hot and an amazing resort!!

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…

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…

On september 19 and 20 had the pleasure of meeting some really good TB's and friends here in Panama City. Sabi told me about her plans of visiting Central America with Stif, including Panama within her program. So we just kept in contact and agreed to meet up when they were in Panam City …

Nature nature nature...

In the morning, we caught a cab to the Miraflores Locks. Once again, the book was wrong. We got there an hour before it opened. The cabbie was very nice and took us to a place to get breakfast while we waited. He did ask for more money at the end of the trip though, which we were cool with based …
