Back to Pana

So, we booked a private launch to take us back to Pana (the thought of trying to put our stuff into the public ones and then trying to keep them dry was too much to bear). Our launch was due at 12:30 and was to be called 'Fatima'. After waiting for about 20 mins, spurning the near empty lanchas going our way for 1/5 of the price we were due to pay, an empty lancha approached. How we chuckled at its name 'Titanic.' "Which poor fools would get on that death trap?" We wondered.

Us, apparently. by the dint of our new found Spanish, we realised that Fatima was not coming and they'd sent the Titanic as a replacement (personally, I think that there is no Fatima - but they've worked out that no-one in their right mind would book a boat called Titanic).

As it happened, the lack of icebergs on the lake assisted us in not sinking and getting quite comfortably to Pana.

T cocked up a bit, so we only managed to stay in the second most expensive hotel in Pana, which had a pool with a water slide. I had fun on the water slide. Here is the obligatory sunset photo from the balcony of the hotel. We needed an early night for our 6:00 am bus to Rio Dulce.
