CHAPTER 14

David to Panama City

David, Tuesday 11 July

David is a modern city of reasonable size. The streets are clean; the city feels safe. I book into the Hotel Iris on the cathedral square: a good clean room with air-con and hot water in the evening, but not in the morning. I need a new headlamp. I draw a blank at the local Honda agent and ride sixty kilometres to the Costa Rican border. This stretch of the Pan-American Highway is four lanes with a centre division. Imagine the frontier town of Paso Canoas as one big shabby shopping mall. I find a lamp and two replacement mirrors. Back in David I photograph my bike among a dozen of its twins outside a Domino Pizza Parlour and then dine for three dollars at a good Chinese restaurant.

To Panama City, Wednesday 12 July
