La Playita, Panama City
12 March 2012
We are beginning a rather long stay in this not so pleasant anchorage of La Playita, in front of Panama City. The dhingy dock in the ‘marina’ area, is the most expensive, dangerous and the most inconsiderate to cruisers that we have ever experienced. As soon as we can we will move across the causeway to Las Brisas.
We have been whizzing around in taxi’s getting a few boat parts and provisioning for our long journey. Whilst there is huge building boom, and betterment of infrastructure within the city, the disparity in the classes is so obvious. We are constantly reminded of how the other side lives, which seam to be more than 80%.
