    A day in the jungle

    February 25, 2020 in Panama ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    We started our day with pancakes for breakfast. Afterwards, we decided to go for a walk in the jungle. Hernan wouldn't let us go alone, so we hired Martin, our guide. We also borrowed rubber boots for security reasons, so little animals wouldn't get into our shoes easily.
    The walk in the jungle was nice, very quiet and lots of oxygen. Unfortunately, we didn't see many animals apart from some spiders, a tiny red and black frog, some birds and many ants and termites. Martin didn't expect us to be this fit and Hernan told us afterwards that he was about to call an ambulance as we wanted to walk too far in the forest 😉
    Back at the cabins, we spent the afternoon doing laundry and cutting hair: Michl introduced Herbert to shaving his head completely which took hours...
    During dinner, we tried some Panamenian rum - not too bad. We also had some nice talks with Hernan, a very knowledgeable, well-traveled man.
    Just before bedtime, Michl discovered a scorpion. The guys here killed it straightaway and burnt it in a fire - too dangerous if we would step on it. Let's see if we can get to sleep well tonight.
