Today – after a filling brunch (breakfast was in an “all-day-brunch” restaurant) I spent a good hour for the 7km walk over to Panama Viejo or the ruins of the first Spanish colonial city on the Panamanian Pacific coast  – established in the early 16th century and destroyed by Captain Morgan in 1617 (after which the town was moved to what we called Casco Viejo today).

From here I uber-ed back to my hotel … and with rain setting in, I decided for a trip to the mall – well  the biggest mall in Latin America … only to discover that a mall is a mall … same brands, same crappy food – well, except for the National Mall in Washington.
