So things are finaly looking up. We have found a boat to Colombia, it leaves tommorrow. Now you have to keep in mind that it has been leaving tommorrow for 3 days. As some of you know we have been determand to find a boat for cheap, and that is what we did. Most people spend a minimum of a Thousand USD to get two bikes and two people accross, and we managed to do it for 400 USD. So we cant complain about the price. I have yet to here of any biker doing it for less. I have posted the shipping information on Horrisons Unlimited if you want the details. The above picture is our boat Junior. Its not the nicest boat, but I think it will make it there. So we should arrive in Colombia on Saturday.
These are the guys. They are the ones I was chasing down the ally way, the guys with the guns that stole our things. When we got our camera back today these pictures were on them. I got a bit of a laugh from that. They were all sentanced to four years in Prison. Seems a little harsh but thats Panama. We could not identify them for police, dispite how hard they tried to make us, but it seemed to have little effect on there trial. They were all repeat offenders so it made me feel a little better about there duration of time in prison. The fourth guy involved was a minor, so his case was seperate. Not sure what happend to him.
This is colon... The picture really says it all. Colon looks about as nice as it is. The people are harsh, and the locals get robbed at gun point as much as the tourists. Its a boring city, very few things to do, and impossible to walk around at night. If you try, the police will stop you and put you in a cab. We will have some good pictures and stories in a few days I am sure, so keep looking because we are back on the road tommorrow and we have all of South America to conquer. Starting of with Colombia, the country of Guns, Cocaine, and Malitia. Wish us luck...
