Panama you were short but sweet. A pleasant mixture of archipelago chilling, crossed with big city living. It's a funny place, Panama. Nestled between the American playground of Costa Rica to the north and, on it's southern side, The Darien Gap - a stretch of wild jungle separating Central from South America where only foolhardy adventurers, natives or drug lords dare to enter.

We experienced luxury tents at Red Frog Beach, skyrise drinks courtesy of that orange moron D.J.Trump, and most importantly the Panama Canal. Staggering in size, engineering skill and income generation the canal proved as appealing as hoped.
