Frustrating day in Panama
This is a top pick! ... had also drained the oil from the transmission or the drive shaft, and questioned whether Bavarian Motors had checked it. Apparently not, as it was bone dry. At 6pm we arrived back at the Hotel Costa Inn, Panama, for, we hoped, would be our last ...
The Darien Gap Revisited
This is a top pick! ... , which we intend to do tomorrow. However, the actual problem is a little further south. There is no road connection between Panama and Colombia, but rather a rain-forest wilderness known as the Darien Gap. Extending for approximately 200 km, this area is ...
Paradise in Panama
This is a top pick! Protected and isolated during thirty years of war, the still pristine eastern village of Panama is like a place left over from past centuries. Bordered by two national wildlife sanctuaries, it is as enchanting as it is quiet and beautiful. And what luck ...
Pandemonium in Panamania
This is a top pick! ... , I had a wee snooze on the summit! Then off to Bocas del Toro, an island Archipelagos off the north coast of Panama. A really beautiful but completely bonkers place, I felt right at home. So went out for the usual skinfull on Friday night at ...
Are you sure this is a boat?
This is a top pick! Wake up and it looks as though it's going to rain all day, which is no fun when you're at the beach, but turned out to be a great day. John, the owner of the ONLY bar called the Wreck Deck...the name says it all, AA members do not go! Anyway John took ...
Breakdancing and Dolphins
This is a top pick! Recap: Dolphin Bay.....saw the dolphins but couldn't really swim with them b/c when we got in we were surrounded by jellyfish. So, then off to a beach where we were attacked by sand fleas....then, finished the night off with a little breakdancing. All ...
They're back
This is a top pick! ... receiving agent and bring all the documentation to get the process moving, still not quite believing the bikes were actually here in Panama. Terry was very helpful so we asked him if we could view the bikes. He explained that they were still with ...
Episode 21: Panama's Pacific Coast
This is a top pick! Paid to Play Episode 21: the one where the author takes his passengers to a Pacific coast surf camp. Who cares if we can surf or not. This place is awesome. Santa Catalina. This place is simply amazing and one of my ...
Panama-a-a-a-a-a, Panama! Rock´n like Van Halen.
This is a top pick! ... narrow streets between really tall buildings. They are pretty rundown for the most part which is weird considering the President of Panama lives right in the middle of all it...But it looks like reparations are underway - lots of cool old ...
Panama Hats!
This is a top pick! ... I say waded our way to the bus stop early in the morning to catch the 6.30am bus to Sixaola - the border town with Panama. We were nervous crossing this border, still undecided as to which route and when we shall head into South America proper we had ...
Access denied!
This is a top pick! ... not on our original list. The most obvious stop for us was Pamama as our fligt to Quito in Equador had a stop over in Panama City. After investigating the best places to visit and changing our flight to add in a few days as a stop over we discoved that ...
Bloody Mary Friday
This is a top pick! We all wake up...Chaney has a killer craving for a bloody mary, so after some searching we found a place on the water and met up with everyone for a morning cocktail and breakfast. Good, although it became a joke that all the garnishes on the drinks ...
Good to be in the saddle again
This is a top pick! ... to the humidity of the day. The riding was good, the roads splendid and Des and I were in high spirits riding comfortably through Panama. By 3pm we had reached David and fueled up before settling down in a cabin just along the way in La Concepcion. $30 ...
The End Of The Road
This is a top pick! ... to fill 3 days there going for walks, eating homemade cinnamon buns from the market and touring coffee farms. Highlights: - Albrook Mall, Panama City: Shopping has not been high our list of things to do this trip but the deals in Panama City were ...
Ocelots I like a lot
This is a top pick! 3.3.10 Hurray. Apparently the bikes have arrived in Panama. Des and I got so excited when we rang the receiving shipping agent here in Panama and she said "Are you waiting for a shipment of motorbikes?" I don't know how she knew, as I hadn’t given ...
Coquette Boquete
This is a top pick! Well, we´re on our way and slowly but surely we´re approaching that backpacking state of mind... Boquete is only adding to our sanity with cool weather and lots of choices. After Santa Fe and Santa Catalina with no internet, you will be happy to know ...
Recovering the motorbikes
This is a top pick! ... doesn’t work." I shouldn’t complain about the taxi rides because they sure beat the bus rides. The busses in Panama are called 'rogo diablo’ or red devils and even the locals say they are dangerous. They are beautifully decorated ...
Sailing around the worlds most beautiful beaches..
This is a top pick! ... . The first language here is Kuna, the women dress in colourful traditional clothes and if you asked these people if they were from Panama, they would reply no and tell you they are from Kuna Yala. Those few days in the San Blas we snorkelled and swam, ...
Panama!!!! (sung to Van Halen tune)
This is a top pick! ... at the bar in swings suspended by hemp rope from the rafters of the thatched roof. Our remaining three days in Panama were spent exploring the islands by ATV, bus and water taxi. Read "Good Times"!!! BTW - We reviewed the ...
1 day in Panama City
This is a top pick! ... time walking along Central Avenue in Panama Nuevo (Fulton Street Mall only in Spanish) and finished the day touring the Panama Canal. We´ve been positively surprised by the dearth of backpackers and westerners in the City, which has made the ...
Bananas, Island Hopping and Booze
This is a top pick! Bocas del toro was easily the highlight of Panama for me. These little islands off the north coast of Panama have everything. Pristine beaches, virgin jungles, big parties, island hopping and the list goes on. Getting there ...
At home with the Anchors!
... for sorting it out. I've been to Panama City before in 2008, I saw a boat pass through the Canal, I saw Old Panama that Captain Morgan destroyed and I did the usual wandering around. When I landed in the airport, the immigration official couldn't give ...

Caught in the Middle
This is a top pick! ... China (they were no more eager to do manual labor than the Spanish had been) and sparked the first great immigration wave into Panama. The French subsequently tried their hand at canal building in 1888, but managed to create not much more than a few mud ...
Panama Canal and Hash House Harriers
This is a top pick! Panama city was alot of fun. The first thing I did when I arrived was of course check out the Panama canal. I learned all sorts of fun facts about how it was built, how many people died during construction, how long it is and so ...
Bocas....just our kind of place
This is a top pick! ... the Caribbean vibe, watching the hummingbirds fly by and read my book on our hotel veranda. Bocas is the most touristy place in Panama but surprisingly still very cool. Lots of young travelers get stuck here since it's just a great place to stay for a ...
Surfer Dudes and Hammocks
This is a top pick! A small surfing village on the Pacific Coast with beautiful beaches and great breaks. Since we don´t surf all we did was hang in the hammock in front of our great beach cabaña (if you ever go: Oasis Surf Camp is the best place to ...
Butterflies and Party time in Santa Fe
This is a top pick! Santa Fe was truly a hidden gem in the middle of the Cordillera Central mountain range... only two other backpackers were in town (Emma and Dov) and we had all the cool, laid back locals for ourselves. Also, we came just in time for the ...
Panama
This is a top pick! ... then our luggage would have been checked. No big deal though. She explained that they had a luggage storage place in the Panama airport. Getting everything checked in we headed to the gate and waited to leave Argentina. Our plane was out ...
