So, bad things sometimes happen when you are travelling too. Since we got robbed in Nicaragua, we had no camera with us. After Nicaragua, we went to Costa Rica and then on to Panama, only in Panama City where electronics are cheaper (than in other Central/South American) countries that we decided that we should get another camera. So I missed out on photo opportunities in Costa Rica and the West of Panama.
But here are some really cool shots!
We had to take a plane from Panama City to the coast and then take a boat over to Colombia. Had a big fight with the airport staff in Panama City because they wouldn't accept the bicycles claiming that the plane is too small. I mean, how small can your plane be?! Until I saw it....oooooh...that's a really small plane you have! And this picture above is taken at the coast when we landed...Just a short airstrip! And which belt will your luggages be at? No belt! No airport! Just like this! So much like a true-blue Caribbean flight you so often seen in the movies! :)
And of course after arguing with the airport staff for over an hour, they say they would try to put the bicycles on the plane, and this is what happened. They left it on the seats with the passengers, it's like taking a bus!
The passengers waiting around the plane for their flight to Panama City while we took our luggages, they deposited theirs. No check in counter, nothing. People coming with wheel-barrows to help with luggages and that's about it.
