Day 1 - Panama


As I approached the border crossing - I was faced with the old bridge (death trap) it's closed for vehicles but foot traffic still use it - actually foot traffic have to use it! In Central America MOH (meat on hoof) is expendable!


This is the new one (on the left) - vehicles only



I was the first in line as the Costa Rica office opened - they now have a $8 departure tax - $7 if you pay by credit card

The crossing was fast and easy

On the Panama side the car insurance took the longest and now you have to pay a municipal tax of $10 (pay someone a couple of dollars to show you where it is as it's hard to find


Hour and a half later - I was ready to head south - this the road that faced me - Welcome to Panama!



Tomorrow I head for Balboa (Pacific side) and start the transportation to Colombia process
