PANAMA CITY (PANAMA)
02 February - 03 February 2017
Returning from the San Blas Islands we checked back into
the Hard Rock Hotel Megalopolis in Panama
City. Hardly the budget style accommodation that we’d pencilled in at the start
of our adventure but really, neither of us were complaining.
Our evening was spent close to home, heading over to the Hard Rock Café for dinner and then
rounding the night out with drinks at the Red
Lion Multicentro. As I said in an earlier entry, this place is an amusing
oddity, to quote some of the reviews written about it;
‘Over priced drinks. With no atmosphere. There
is over five waitresses to one customer and none of them pay any attention to
their customers. The waitresses are too busy fondling each other's breast to
ever pay any attention. It's amazing how many beautiful women there are in the
establishment and surrounding businesses but none of them are actually working’
‘Falta
mayor atención a personas que no van pendiente de levantarse a alguna chica del
bar’
‘ésimo
lugar, se puede decir peor. teníamos a 4 babosos pendientes de las chicas que
aburridas estaban charloteando, comimos mal, bebimos mal. 0mg! No volveré mas
allí’
We had a few drinks here but considering we weren’t offering the girls
any attention we also became the standard ‘afterthought’ in a place that
obviously has a target clientele.
Finishing off with a couple of
drinks at the Hard Rock Hotel we turned in for the night in preparation for the
next phase of our journey. The next day we’d be turning around and starting our
northern run, the next stop being Boquete in Central Eastern Panama.
