Miraflores Locks


Day 100, Oct 10, 2013, 42km


The Hostel Villa Vento Surf was booked full for today so we had to change to the Mamallena Hostel. This is also run by the same booking agency as the boat.

This afternoon we headed to the Miraflores Locks and did see this marvellous wonder in operation. We did see some small boats go through the locks, and we could have waited a couple of hours for a big boat but decided to go to the Flamenco Island instead.

The Island is reachable by this long causeway and has a great view of the city from a sea point of view, plus it has a duty free zone.


Tomorrow we will take the bike’s to San Blas for loading onto the boat and then stay overnight on the Carti Islands.

Apparently there is no Internet for the next 6 days or until I reach Cartagena, Columbia, you will have to wait for the updates, wish me luck. Bon-Voyage.
