The boys (Bear and Eric) jumped on the eight o’clock bus from the marina, went into Colon to the Eurocar Office (under the Hotel Four Points – Sheraton), they each paid one hundred and twenty five pounds for us to share a weeks car hire, getting back all smiles with a black Mitsubishi. After lunch met and went for a small bimble nearby. The entrance to the marina complex has some shocking tarmac, weaving around the biggest holes, we turned right and headed to Fort Lorenzo (own blog) and to find the nearest beach. Interesting roads.

The National Park man who let us in earlier was all smiles, he only charged the men five dollars and let Dee and I off.

Along a service road we found the biggest leafcutter activity any of us had ever seen – millions

Our final stop was to see a sloth curled in a tree for the night. Light was beginning to fade and the clock said ‘Happy Hour’. Time for a beer and a look at the daily special back at the marina restaurant.
