POLSKI:
A tak wyglada Panama - w skrocie 3xD: dzungla, dzicz i duchota. Przeplyniecie odcinka kilkudziesieciu kilometrow zajelo nam jakies 8 godzin. Kanal jest tak waski, ze statek ledwo sie w nim miescil. W poludniu dotarlismy do portu. Mialam tylko godzine, dotarlam taksowka do "centrum handlowego" (naprawde nie chcesz tam samemu przechadzac sie ulica, z lustrzanka na szyi) - istne szalenstwo i, delikatnie mowiac, nielad.
