(still) Panama City, Panama

Three days left, then we’re one our boat to Colombia!

Panama is a nice little country. Relative good developed at least here in the city and the other cities I have seen so far. Black and white are very close, but I think like everywhere in the world. The skyline of the city looks much more metropolitan than the skyline from Vancouver.

It’s really amazing what they build in the last few decades and still expand it. On the other hand, this isn’t the part I’m interested in it’s almost everywhere the same. All the big brands, hotel chains ……
