Panama: Days 8 and 9 - Preparing for the Canal Passage

We sadly left Boquete early Monday morning and hopped on the bus back to the boat. We had a little scare when the customs agent boarded the bus and wouldn't take our passport photocopies. We had no problem on the way to Boquete with the copies, but on the way back he wanted the real passports. I didn't want to spend time in any sort of Panamanian prison of any sort. He eventually just let us go again. We were smart enough this time to bring sandwiches on the bus so we didn't have to eat "rat meat" again at the midway bus stop.

We spent the whole day on busses and finally got back to the boat around 10:00pm. We were tired and just went to bed.

Tuesday was spent getting a few things done on the boat to prepare for our canal passage on Wednesday. I also spent a good 4 hours at the gym to try to get as much of my weekly exercising in before we left. Nothing really exciting happened this day.
