Landfall

Picture "Story-Board" version of disembarking in Panama and riding over the isthmus to Panama city... Im too tired to write a long blahhh about it, so pictures will have to do :)

(all pictures by Greg George)

Loading the bikes from the yacht into a Launch


Riding into the beach with the bikes




Unloading the bikes from the launch on the beach/dock at Carti




Greg sitting with his new "Kuna" friends (The indigenous people from the San Blass Islands)


And now we come to a river crossing... About 50m wide!


But a 4WD came by and we could watch how deep and bumpy his ride was...


Well, that didnt look too bad so now its my turn


Me gingerly driving into the river






And Im across


Gregs turn




The new bridge across the river will be done in a month... And then the adventure I had two years ago will be completely gone... The road from here out was a slimy mud disaster when I did it two years ago but now its fully paved all the way to the city!


Made it to Panama City
