Bocas Dental Center (Bocas del Toro)

June 14, 2009

bocasdental1

(Bocas del Toro, Panama) I can't think of a better place to have some dental work done than in Bocas del Torro. I was staying across the Laguna at Bastimentos Island and decided to have a dental check-up. Dr Wong found three cracked fillings and took care of them promptly. Dr Wong removed my old silver fillings and replaced them with mercury free 3m inlay(not sure what … [Read more...] about Bocas Dental Center (Bocas del Toro)

Lavamatico/ Laundry (Casco Viejo)

Casco Viejo, Panama City Location: Coming out of Hotel Colon take a left and go one block. Should see the sign on your left side looking down the hill. Cost: 75 cents to wash and 75 cents to dry. You have to fold the ropa yourself. If staying in the Casco Viejo area and you need your laundry done, this is the place. Just don't stray to far down the street.

Panama Canal (MiraFlores Locks)

June 14, 2009

panamacanal1

Cost: 8 US Dollars I guess since you came all the way to Panama you better go and see the locks, eh? It's big and it's bad! Check out the locks and the museum at Miraflora Locks. It's really convenient and gives you a good taste of part of the canal. Plus the building has the best air conditioner. Personally I think the Museum in Casco Viejo is better than … [Read more...] about Panama Canal (MiraFlores Locks)

Casco Viejo (Panama City)

June 14, 2009

cascoviejo1

If you are in Panama City, don't miss going to Casco Viejo. Lots of neat things to see there. The Panama Canal museum is there and lots of Colonial architecture. It's like taking a time machine back to the past. Not all of Casco Viejo is safe to walk around in, but there are plenty of tourist police to make sure you don't stray into the dangerous parts of town. Just use common … [Read more...] about Casco Viejo (Panama City)

Pedasi (Panama)

June 14, 2009

pedasitodo1

Getting there: From Chitre take mini van to Las Tablas, then catch another mini van to Pedasi. Takes about 1 1/2 hours for the whole trip. Pedasi is a neat town to go and visit. Not a whole lot to do there and perhaps that is a good reason to go. The two local beaches (Playas El Torro and La Garita) are not the best for swimming, but I liked taking the long half hour hike to … [Read more...] about Pedasi (Panama)

Playa El Aguillito (Chitre) (Birding Paradise)

June 14, 2009

playaelaquillito1

Chitre, Panama If you like mud and lots of exploring, then maybe Playa El Aguillito is worth a visit. This is a migratory stop for thousands of birds. The small park at the entrance is not very impressive and the road going through the Sanctuary is lined with litter. But Playa El Aguillito serves its purpose for the birds. The park just needs a good clean up and it … [Read more...] about Playa El Aguillito (Chitre) (Birding Paradise)

Boquete (Panama)

June 14, 2009

boquete1

I had high expectations of my visit to Boquete, unfortunately the once quaint town is now overrun with commercial buildings and I think has lost its charm. There is still some charm left, you just have to look a little harder. Maybe I didn't give the town a fair shot and have a hard look around. After two days I hit the road. Talking to some local folks and a lot of them are … [Read more...] about Boquete (Panama)
