Have cancelled my next hotel in the city now that I have seen more but couldn't come back to this nice one so have pushed boat out and going to Sofitel which is the old landmark beautiful place. Like staying at Raffles or the Peninsula. A truly once in a lifetime experience.
I'm neither the oldest nor the fattest person around.
Banks are scattered around the Casco Viejo.
The cathedral where there seemed to be a mummified young saint.
You could have your photo taken with this young woman.
The Panama chocolate tasting was underwhelming.
So went off to the Fish market where I also had lunch. Sat next to a young local couple with a little girl with amazing pale blue eyes while her parents were dark yet otherwise she was just like them.
He came to sing.
Across from my little hotel is the much more expensive one which has a little cafe called Vera. I have a breakfast there then took this pic which shows the ubiquitous locks on the railing, the city of Panama which is almost exclusively residential and was built over the past 26 years and also the marvellous circular road which thus enables cars to Void driving through the congested old town, the Casco Viejo with its old colonial type buildings which sparkle in the sunshine.
No thunderstorms yet as I saw predicted.
As its Monday all government museums etc are closed so Im just going to spend the day wandering the old town.
Found the Geisha coffee shop.
Lisa and family in minus 15 in Finland.
