From Colon to Panama City

It took about 90 minutes bus ride through Panama country site it was a pleasant drive, the Highway are good and very clean. Walk around Panama City for 5 hours with some stops, naturally Hot and Humid and at the end of our visit walking towards the bus Mother Nature “who is in charge” unleashed a rainstorm on us, but for me it didn’t spoil the Day.
