... photographer takes the shot. Again to the grumbles of a few around him because, once again, he has gotten his hands in someone&#8217;s photos.!<br><br>The ship eases into the next lock. The small &#8220;mules&#8221; are not only on rails, but on a cog track as well. At the end of each lock it has a short, steep incline of about 20 to 30 feet to make. You can hear its engine rev and the cogs engage as it climbs the short incline, then it zips up to the next ...

... wat het begin van de San Blas islands is.<br>Toen we aankwamen in de haven bleken alle boten al vertrokken te zijn op één na...deze zou morgen om 5 uur ´s ochtends vertrekken. We hebben onze intrek genomen bij Gloria...en oude manke vrouw welkede hele dag boeren liet...detail. Een enkele kamer voor Luke en een dubbele met een lek dak voor ons. ´s Avonds hebben we gegeten bij één van de gaarkeukens van het dorp (niemand kookt zelf thuis...er zijn een paar mensen waar je eten gaat ...

... get photocopies.<br><br>After finishing the paperwork, Christina and I left Colon and drove over to the Gatun Locks, which are the largest locks in the Canal. We even had the opportunity to drive over a one lane bridge that was timed to open and close with the massive steel gates of the locks. So Wesley has officially driven through the Panama Canal! Something that I would have to say is an extremely unique experience. <br><br ...

... is that if you go to the rainforest, cover up and coat yourself in deet... cos the mossies are monsters and the bites are unbearable even a couple of days later. However doing all of the above probably won´t help as I still got mutilated :(.<br><br>I bet you´re glad I´ve finally found a keyboard with an apostrophy... I am at least....? So, until the other side of the border.... ps. thanks for all the messages... see ya x<br>

... hostels and nothing was available. Then, at the last minute, I saw that a boat was leaving on April 8 and I signed up for the trip. Sight unseen, knowing nothing about the boat or captain....a leap of faith. I took the train from PC to Colon. The trip essentially follows the canal route so I had some good views of the canal as well as Gatun Lake. When I got to Colon, a dreadful place, there wasn't a bus ...

... Mar. 29) Joel and Andrea bought some traditional Kuna stuff. The Kuna people are one of the few completely independent tribes in the Americas. They have what is called a Comarca (like a province) in which they govern themselves and determine all their own rules independent of Panama. I got bit by a monkey named Sabu that belongs to one of the ladies. He bit Andrea yesterday. (Mar. 30) Went to a nearby town called Nombre ...

... in my life (and I've seen a lot of fried food and meat!). There were a handful of restaurants, but they all served the exact same thing: Chicken and rice, fish and rice, or beef and rice. You can guess what I ate: Rice!! There was one "gringo" place in town that had pizza, but the one time we ordered it, it took two hours to arrive. The only saving grace was that one restaurant had the best ice cream EVER. I think that ice cream was the ...

... letto con la mia figlia minore desiderando soltanto di dormire per un mese intero. Inutile dire che anche l'alimentazione e i ritmi dei pasti sono stravolti e in corso di ripristino, Chiara beve un sacco di latte per generale inappetenza da caldo e principalmente per recuperare i liquidi che perde in sudore. Vedremo cosa si riuscirà a fare nei prossimi giorni. Morale, in questo momento mi manca la neve e anche il freddo (io lo dico sempre che chi ha pane non ha i denti e viceversa!).

... do as you please, its much easier to close your eyes with the bus driver driving, its less scary. Colon munciple has actually decided that they will have no traffic lights installed... Crazyness! These guys put South African Taxi's to shame! The roads are not very well maintained, there are lots of potholes. The weather got very wet in the late afternoon, but hey its the rainy season after all. We now start the long trip (2 and a bit sea days) back up to Miami now..
