David - Panama City 10. - 16. Dez. 06

Panama is the richest country central America and the influence of the USA is pervasive probably. The houses and settlements are built, everywhere in the same handle as in the USA for nearly Food and enormous shopping centres and no reasonable bread. Our first station was David, a city with 100,000 inhabitants. We found the Hostal “PUR-polarize Hous” a US American lead and those to favourite color unschwehr to only guess are. The house and all this, in addition, really everything in the house are held in different Violettoenen. Somehow a bischen crushing in addition, to the Schmunzeln. Five minutes after our arrival one already descended this Meggagewitter, as we had her in Panama then taeglich around approx. four o'clock in the afternoon. But like always these precipitation does not bring a cooling, it becomes only more schwuehler… Two days later we crossed the Panama channel and reached Panama town center. At the outskirts of a town a moped driver addressed us and asked where we woollen. He spoke somewhat English, like a great many in Panama and was us immediately ready by the city to pilots. Ever more deeply we penetrated into the million-metropolis and were very glad that it ahead-drove us and that was us then also a few dollar worth. Was from money up to now no speech, but one knows that… We reached our Hostal in the middle in the city centre in a multistoried building with underground parking and elevator. Our helpful pilot Chino wanted to know the Sprit be paid, which he had proceeded in the last two hours for us from a tip however nothing at all and did not even let themselves and it meant only that it makes him lucky simply only to help to be able, for vogue itself on its moped and was already in the close Verkehrsgewuehl disappeared. Some more surprised of so much helpfulness we referred our room in the respected stick and looked on the city down those never sleep. It is here 24 hours bertieb and one sees that the money there at home is. Corresponding are also the prices. We had written already a few days before our arrival in Panama town center enamel companies concerning the transport of our motorcycles and were already strained on the answers and went into the next Internet cafe. The feedbacks left us untouched however the hair to mountains: 800 US$ per motorcycle after Quito, kanns nevertheless probably not its. On the next morning we drove with a taxi to the freight airport and rattled all societies off to make but nothing. Those, those at all a motorcycle transport verlangenh all approx. equal much. The prices exploded correctly in the last years. We looked then in the Internet for other possibilities. We considered also a ship variant, although we over it so far only bad heard and had read and drove with the motorcycle to the port. There one could not help us at all and sent us back into the city into an office. The Schiffstransport to Ecuador does not count itself however at all, at the most to Colombia. However it gives to ride along no possibility with the ship and all flights to Colombia is completely out and over-booked. We met one in the host universe mix people to come out the all in vain tried from Panama. There were flights only again at the end of December, but then the cargo airport closed because of Weihnachtsferien. Are we to wait until New Year somewhere at the coast? In Panama town center we wanted to remain in no case and three weeks at the coast somewhere hang around cost also much money and we to lose much time. Thus we decided to take the expensive variant after Quito and called on Friday evening with the forwarding business Panavia. Flights to Quito go having only on Sunday and we the motorcycles at the latest Saturday morning 11 o'clock to deliver. The whole fun is paid exclusive in cash at the airport. Thus pluenderten we the Bankomaten in the environment and still bought straight before closing hour two Flgtickets for us after Quito.
With approx. 2000 US$ in loud 10er and eun stood we 20's-seem few then on Saturday tomorrow around half ten with Panavia at the freight airport. However the office was closed and no humans there. Around half eleven then finally someone came along and we experienced that the airplane was kaput after Quito and the flight thus painted. The next Thermin is then one week later. We are to drive for neighbouring forwarding business Copa and try our luck there. Those had however at all no flight after Quito, at the earliest on Monday after Bogota, Colombia, in addition, and which was not surely whether our motorcycles there still place would have. Thus we stood now there with our Flugtickets for this evening to Ecuador and the society wanted from a cancellation nothing at all to know. Back to Panavia. Slowly our nerves lay brightly! With much and telephones gabs then a flight this Sunday after Bogota for the motorcycles and that is safe, insured one us. Thus we delivered the motorcycles and the luggage on a pallet were then loaded. In any case one goes it to direction South America now! Our motorcycles to Colombia and we to Ecuador. Whether also all this well goes??? Very probably was not us with the whole thing, but we it to see and we also that regulated get somehow. After the paper stuff settles and we a whole pile money more easily drove we with a taxi to the person airport. In the air-conditioned resounds could we only once rest and hung our through-sweated Klamotten up to outer shut-off volumes to the dry. Thus we flew then in the evening to Quito, stayed overnight in a Hostal and were on the next morning already again at the airport to get in hope a flight after Bogota which folded then also problem-free and two hours later we sat already in the Maschiene after Bogota, Colombia.
