Imagine that some 20 miles from the port, I came across a yacht and it turned out that the owner’s wife was a doctor, a laryngologist . I’m really lucky. She had an instrument to examine my ear and she prescribed me proper ear drops. It’s better now.
Shelter Bay Marina is wonderfully quiet but there are huge storms everyday, sometimes with rain. The owner of the marine Mr. Carlos Vanlencia received Tanasza as a form of support and cooperation, so we’re a guest at his marina (www.shelterbaymarina.com). Thank you very much!
I met Jas, who is the youngest person that reached Mount Blanc. When he was 2 years old, his father took him there but the authorities got to know about it and they took him down in a helicopter. When he was 4, he got to the top... congrats.
It’s beautiful, jungle-like, and there are plenty of mosquitoes here. I saw a big and extremely blue butterfly and an equally huge spider in a supermarket. The city of Colon isn’t one of the safest cities. Many things have changed since my last visit to Panama 7 years ago. Crossing the Panama Canal involves a lot of paper work and, what’s more, the officials didn’t like the fact that I don’t have a toilet :(
