Panama
21 Miles
Total PanAm Miles 9742
A trip to the airport this morning to collect the bikes, not that simple though. Because there are 18 bikes the process takes forever. The customs people seem to be unable to cope with a large group. Things weren’t helped by the heat and humidity here, so needless to say a few of our group were a little hot under the collar. We must have spent about 6hrs at the cargo terminal before the paperwork was complete and we were free to go. I can’t help thinking that a little bit of pre planning would have saved some time. But it’s no surprise as very little seems to have been organised on the trip so far.
After returning to the hotel and parking our bikes in the foyer we had just enough time to go to the Miraflores Locks on the Panama Canal. What a fantastic site to see the massive ship make their way slowly through the locks.
Panama City like all cites has variety of different areas. We were told not to turn left out of the hotel as the area is too dangerous! We went out in the evening to one of the more posh areas for a meal at a Mexican restaurant.
Tomorrow we start to make our way through Panama on our way to Costa Rica.
