Days 84 and 85: Panama City

Day 84:

Mihai's mom, Michaela, and her husband John have arrived in Panama City two days ago, in order to spend a week of vacation here, and to get to see Mihai. They were kind enough to invite both of us to spend a day with them at their resort, so we jumped on the bikes in the morning of day 84, and met them around noon. It was nice to be treated to a day of luxury, and we had a good time. Thank you Michaela and John, it was very appreciated.

Surprisingly, the resort was packed with French Canadians, or Quebs, as Josh calls us :) When closing my eyes, I could have sworn I was at the Oka beach, and not in Panama City..lol. 

Later that night, I got sick, with stomach problems. This was a little puzzling, since the food we at the resort was among the best meals we had since we left home. I guess my digestive system got used to crap and no longer tolerates quality..lol.

Yet another beach. Starting to get bronzay by now :)

What you see on the horizon is not settlements, but the long line up of ships awaiting to cross the Panama Canal.

Day 85:

My stomach problems continued in the morning, whereas Mihai was now feeling like crap as well, with what appeared like symptoms of another cold. We wanted to shop for a few missing items that day, so we popped a few pills and took a cab to Albrook mall. This thing is HUGE. There are over 800 shops, and there's even a small motorcycle dealership. I was hoping to score some tires, but didn't like what they had in stock. I guess we'll have to wait until Bogota, Colombia, to find some fresh rubber for our DR's.

Josh was flying out the next day to Bogota, at 6 am in the morning. His bike was supposed to leave on a cargo plane on the previous day. We will most likely meet up again somewhere in Colombia, maybe even in Cartagena.
