I took another day off in the town of David, Panama, trying to use my time to organise a boat from Panama to Colombia. Here's my blog post from the day.
Doing odd-jobs in David, Panama
Blog post written: April 17th, 2010
Another day off in the city of David gave me a chance to catch up on answering a few emails, and enquiring about boats from Panama to Columbia.
I have written to the Steel Rat boat, asking for a place on the fifth of May, and am eagerly waiting a reply. This would give me two weeks to play with before I needed to be in Panama City, and the boat has gotten good reviews from other cyclists.
If they don't have a place, I will head straight to Panama City and try to organise another boat.
Whilst I am waiting for the reply, I will hang around in David for a few days, as its a cheap place to base myself, with the dorm only costing 8 dollars.
I also have access to free internet and coffee, books and conversations in English.
Oh, did I mention there was also a McDonalds nearby ??? !!!
