Taking the Bus Vs. flying from Panama City to david.

Terrie took this photo leaving Panama City on the bus.
The bus trip to David Panama from Panama City now takes eight hours instead of the advertised six hours because the govt. has started regulating the bus speed using G.P.S. in order to cut down on accidents. For this reason I would strongly reccomend paying the 110.00 dollars or so and flying to David in around an hour. It is money well spent. Keep in mind you have to take a Taxi from the main international airport to the airport that flies from Panama City to David. It's about an hour taxi drive and cost us thirty five bux.
One of the nice things about Panama is that they use the U.S. dollar as their currancy. This makes it far less confusing for visiting gringos.
