We found IT! Now, where should we go next? When we were planning the journey back home in Europe, we planned it until Panama. Why? Because it seemed to be so far away and Kira didn’t even believe that we will ever reach it. But mainly, because there are so many roads, sights and possible routes in North America. South America was easy: you hop on the only highway there is and follow it. And here, in the beginning of the new continent while it’s still narrow, we are facing some serious decision making… What route should we take to Alaska?

Week 99: Still Stuck in Panama City
Week 99. Still stuck in Panama City. Still fixing teeth. Still hoping that Bill Gates would sponsor us. Nevertheless, 99 weeks is a very long time. In fact, we’ve been on the road for so long that we get nostalgic about the places we visited. But the journey is not even over yet! We had a very rough start in Patagonia, but all the hard and sad moments already faded away. Now we’re having a rough patch again. This time we know that soon we will forget all the pain and will remember only those rare good moments we had in Panama City.
Not a Quiz
Not a Quiz, BUT… Can you see the frog?
Exploring the Jungle
Exploring the jungle! We never got a chance to visit the ‘real’ Amazon jungle in South America. Good thing that Panama is so narrow that we can’t cross it without going through the jungle. On Saturday we visited Metropolitan Park: jungle inside the city’s limits! We’ve seen the Jesus lizards that run on the water surface as well as many flora and fauna that we couldn’t identify.

Confusing Language Quirks
“Can we open a shop in your back garden?” this is what we used to ask people back in Patagonia, when we wanted to pitch our tent next to their house. As time passed by our Spanish got better. Nevertheless, in Colombia Kira sent an email to a hotel asking if she can bring 2 bikes and a whore to the room. The hotel owner was very surprised when we came there with a dog. In Panama Sven asked the dentist what kind of narcotic drugs will they give us. The receptionist got frightened and quietly asked “A-a-anesthesia?”.
Week 98 Stuck in Panama City
Week 98. Stuck in Panama City. We have reached Panama City, got lost and got stuck. Our plan was to quickly run errands and leave on Sunday, but now we’re staying in Panama City for next one or two weeks. Why? Some of our deepest nightmares about the dentists came to life and well… let’s just say you will be happy not to know the details. In addition to this we need to vaccinate Tulku, fix bikes, visit post office, etc.
