Panama 4th April. We are flying home.

We were quite extatic when we arrived back at the Plaita, The Panama City anchorage and civilisation at the end of February.
We have now spent all of March here doing boat projects and meeting old and new friends. Now it is time to go home.
The generator got sorted and we got new batteries so we were quite elated and ready to sail to new horizons. Most of the sailboats coming through the Panama Canal are heading for the South Pacific. We are very tempted to do the same. BUT first of all we are heading back to Scotland for the summer. Our tickets are bought and  we leave Panama on April 15th and shall return November 10th 2015.
Panama is an amazing City, vibrant and multi- national. The Canal Zone is beautiful with colonial buildings, parks and open spaces as a sharp contrast to the city and high- rise buildings. But besides the Panama Canal, the major sights are found in Casco Viejo  with old churches, plazas and beautiful Spanish colonial buildings. This area is getting UNESCO world heritage approval and restoration- work is at present taking place and making it safe for visitors to walk around. 
While we have been here we have visited the brand new Bio- Museum, the National Theater, The Abasto fresh fruit and vegetables market and the fish market. I have started making jewelry again and was taken to shops  where I have bought beads, pearls and semi precious stones. We have been spectators at the Canal Cayoko race from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Also, we took the ferry to Island of the Flowers, Taboga Island, where we are leaving the boat on a mooring for the summer.
It is hot and humid here. Any exersice and you sweat like a pig. It will be good to get home and wear clothes again.
We are having a great time, but as always it will be good to get home to family and friends.
