    Our destination was the end of the isthmus - the Punta Culebra Nature Center. It required multiple transfers. At the end of the subway line Albrook the busses to us a bit to figure out. We stuck to it and after more than an hour we were back on the transit system (albeit with an updated and closer destination). We took a bus, missed our transfer stop, returned to the same bus station and then boarded another bus to Casco Viejo area to see the canal museum.

    Oh, and i think we may have spent less than B/. 5 (The balboa (sign: B/.; ISO 4217: PAB) is, along with the United States dollar, one of the official currencies of Panama.
