Goodbye south America, Hello central America
... been the
scene of street riots in which several people lost their lives sparked by the
government’s decision to sell off government land which was very much against
the wishes of the largely poor population of Colon. The riots had gone on for
several days and had only just ceased when we arrived in Panama City so care
was needed whilst moving around this much run down city where it would seem the
