Last Days in Panama

Yesterday when we we woke up there was a grave problem. I wasn't feeling too well again. Mummy, Daddy, and Lucy went out to breakfast and I stayed in bed. We got in the car and drove to a nearby orchid garden. I stayed out in the café while everyone else went to look. Everyone else told me that it was the wrong season for orchids.

We drove slowly down the mountain and along the coast to Panama City and back to Hotel Tryp. We checked-in and went for a nice lunch except for me: I had vegetable soup and plain bread. For part of the afternoon Lucy and Mummy went out shopping longer than we expected. We lazed about for the afternoon and watched 'Men in Black'.

For dinner I had a bread roll with bananas and apple juice, but this morning I feel much better, so I'm going down for a buffet breakfast.

Today we will fly from Panama City to Houston, and then Houston back to Vancouver.

Tomorrow the last post will show all the best parts of the trip.

Hiking and an Irish Pub

A-hiking we will go

A great view

Yesterday we got up and left Eco Venao, and drove halfway back to Panama City. We drove up into the mountains to a place called El Valle, and found a hotel called Los Capitanes for one night. It was a small room and it had a bath shower with no plug. We went to go and see a waterfall. They had free hiking sticks and we walked across a suspension bridge. You could wade right up to the waterfall but we didn't want to get our feet wet. The area was very jungly and there were hummingbirds and other wildlife. The waterfall wasn't going completely straight. It was jagged with several strands of water going in different directions. It looked not very amazing, but interesting.

We went to an Irish pub called O'Pedro for a drink and dinner. I had fish and chips. It took a long while to come but it was tasty so it was worth the wait.
