Panama 1.0

Last boarder is crossed for a while 🥳 We made it to Panama City where we have to prepare our van and do all the paperwork for the shipping from Panama to Colombia (there is no road or ferry between Panama and Colombia, you have to ship the car and then either sail or fly to Colombia) . A big help in this process is the "overland embassy". They not only arrange the shipping for you but they also have a campground next to their office, have tools for everything and can answer all your questions about Panama or the shipping. So the last days were mostly about organizing, cleaning, preparing and driving as few as possible.
Next to the campground lives a very sweet old lady who brought us fresh mangos and avocados from her garden. She also invited us to her house to harvest even more fruits. Harvesting them is not so easy. You have to hit/fish the fruits with a very long stick to make them fall down (video).
Of course we also visited the Panama Canal. In the time lapse you can see a ship entering the locks and being lowered to the next level to continue the journey. It takes the ships around 11h to cross the 80km long canal 😅

Before we arrived at the capital we spent some days on beautiful beaches were we could relax, surf, train and enjoy the views 😍Read more
