Day 146 - Freezer bus

Panama City to David

A bus trip through Panama today to the city of David for an overnight stop before pushing on to Costa Rica. It was a comfortable, newish bus but for some reason the air conditioning was turned all the way up, meaning we ended up freezing - last time we get on a bus without a jacket!

We arrived into David around 5pm and in the middle of a rainstorm, the hazards of travelling during rainy season! By the time we checked into our hostel and went for a walk to the town square it was dark and the rain had settled. The town square wasn't that interesting, a bit dark, grotty and unappealing, however we did find a shop that would print the onward travel document (which M had "faked" from an old plane ticket) that we needed to enter Costa Rica.

While investigating the bus route we were taking into Costa Rica the next day we discovered that the bus to San Jose goes via Quepos, which is one of the places we had planned to visit, so we changed our accommodation plans and decided we'd give San Jose a skip.
