Paradise Lost,
Arrived safe and sound , a quick visit to the
customs and immigration which was open, we did all the documents which were
many , the Panamanians like there paperwork , Ike called us and guided us into a
beutiful lagoon which a deep anchorage in between two islands , the local
natives came out in there dug out canoes with fish , lobster and handicrafts ,
they sit patiently and try to sell there wares , we bought 12 lobsters for 18
dollars US in Martinique it was 10 Euro for one , apparently all of the
lobsters from this region are sent to Columbia and freeze packed , then sent to
feed the Caribbean islands .
This area of the San Blas is completely
unspoilt now so it must have been event more remote in the 50s when the pilot
book we have was written but it has a great simplistic charm about it something
we have not seen on our travels so far , it just as we imagined the Caribbean to
be and we are glad that we came here and not gone strait to Panama and transited
the canal .
On a lighter note , humor levels are riseing , but
today we were so taken with the sights of these islands and the people that we
thought it only fitting to do at least one sensible blogg .
