First day in panama, and first day we venture out as the 'Sensational 6' ( yes, were still thinking of a name, back jn BA we were the 4OD- 4 original dentists, courtesy of Suraj patels brain). So we wake to hear nomes nightmare from the night before: the dream was apparently that Dobby woke up in the middle of the night and decided to touch us all creepily. All I cn say if it did actually happen, then it's character building, LOL.
Then it was off to the bus station to book our tickets for tonight! Having walked into the Sheraton to ask for directions, we ended up in a private people carrier taking us to the station for $3 each! Lol day one with Layla Taidi and we've managed to bag a chauffeur! So off we went, with jess exclaiming 'this is how we do!' lool.
I had my first taco bell (ever!) for lunch and then it was of to the famed canal. Somehow, yes, somehow 6 of us managed to squeeze into a taxi, with jess sitting on the floor and me on Nomes. Then it got interesting. At a pair of traffic lights we get a knock on the door, and all I see is a gun tucked in a mans belt. s***. Turns out it's a police man, and yes, were being pulled over. The taxi driver gets given a fine and a good telling off, the others are finding the whole situation comical, and im s***ting bricks. Of course they also find this comical aswell and decide to proceed and tell me that we could end up in prison, and yes as ridiculous as that sounds, i believe it and begin to panic. I blame my mother for this incessant need to worry about something, but as it happens, all is well and a £50 fine later were back on the road!
The canal wasn't very exciting, we saw a boat pass through at a snails pace, but at least we can say we've now seen the Panama canal!
