Our flight from Bocas del Toro to Panama City was around an hour. When we landed, it was interesting to see the difference in how the plane is unloaded compared to the USA. Everything is done with less technology and more manpower. I should note that we didn't land at the bigger international airport, but a smaller local airport.
Man powered carts for hauling the luggage.
We exited onto the runway.
We entered the airport into a large, secured lobby separated from the other public areas.
Our luggage was brought and unloaded by hand, lined up, and sniffed out by the dog. Then the barrier was removed for everyone to collect their bags.
We waited in line to put our bags and bodies through the appropriate scanning devices and then were released through a sliding glass door to the public area of the airport.
Outside the airport.
The Panama Railway.
Traffic is a little more organized than San Jose.
First views of the city. It's an eclectic mix of modern skyscrapers and housing buildings that would be condemned in the USA, but people live in them here.
Our first dinner in the Cuidad de Panama at a Colombian restaurant near our Airbnb.
Arepa con papas fritas
Clark's meal was some meat and tortilla with salad
Hamburguesa
Selection of Colombian meats such as sausage, rice, and the typical beans in Panama, which are lentils.
