An ANTEATER Climbed aboard our BOAT! - Adventure 15 (Sailing Around the World)
Correction: That is an Anteater that managed to climb aboard at the end of the video.
Rental cars are really cheap in Panama city. Something like $10 per day. But then they tack on $50 worth of car insurance. To add to the confusion there are various insurance tiers. We ended up declining all of them except one which they said was mandatory.
The roads are quite hazardous with massive lane dividers. Random missing manhole covers. Crazy taxi drivers. Likely normal stuff for any local but not something we were not used to.
In less than 24 hours we crashed into the railing of an overpass and did many thousands worth of damage. Two broken rims. A bumper torn off and the front quarter panel completely torn back. (We were OK). Turns out that mandatory rental car insurance in Panama City is worth it.
Thank You to Thrifty Car rental. Thank You to the Police who took care of us. And thank you to the kind Panamanian passerby who help translate our broken Spanish. What could have been a horrible situation turned ended in as pleasant of an experience as possible.
