Trump Hotel Infinity Pool

Not a bad view of the Pacific Ocean!!

... I really look like a local with my new Panama hat don't I??

 There is that little girl I am to walk down the isle with again!!  She's everywhere!!  Let me impress her with my swimming technique...

... how nice of Juanpi to chose to spend his last hours as a single man with us by the pool!!  Just couldn't turn down his offer!!  Nor could I avoid performing some impressive dives with him around!!

Come on you pussy... it's not that cold!!  You're about to get married you old sod.. you might as well start getting to uneasy situations!!

;-)

Panama Sightseeing

View from our hotel!! That bit on the bottom with the red rooftops apparently is the club where the wedding reception will take place later tonight!!

First things first, a croissant, some fruit loops and an apple juice at the hotel bar...

then ready to hit the old town of Havana... well not exactly.. it's hot out there and I felt rather under sugared....

So we stopped for some coffee and another dose of fruit loops which Dadda had stocked up from the hotel...

Feel well energised now... come on Mamma let's go!!

Life's so much easier and cosier with my personal chauffeurs escorting me around to discover the world!!

When are we going to the swimming pool Dadda?!

Look Mamma... the sea has gone away!!

Oh wow.. Bracelets of every color in the world!!

I love being lured by my Mamma!!  And I'm pretty good at persuading her too!!

Off we go now.. I can do this bit on my own feet!!

Panama hats!!  Well up for this one!!

The Orillac Pre Wedding Dinner

We were kindly asked to join in with the family the night before the wedding for a casual gathering... little did we know that 60 odd Orillac's turned up for the occasion with us Europeans and a couple US folks (the Cohanes) joining in as ringers!

What a spectacular house and view and what lovely hosts!!

Despite the guests and the hectic schedule, Nati always had some time for me!!

Then came Nati's old man's speech... ssssshhhhhhh!!  No interrupting now!!

How lucky of them.. They are about to get married and they get inundated with presents.  Better note that one down for when I grow older!!

Good job there were some goodies for us kids too!!

I gather we are walking down the isle tomorrow at Nati's wedding... perhaps it's worth us getting friends now what do you think!?

Panama Canal

Our trip to Panama couldn't start without taking a proper guided tour of the Panama Canal!  

Pretty impressive stuff!!  They say these docks fill up faster than my bath at home!!  Would you believe it?!

Departing Bocas del Toro...

... Fingers crossed Nati.. should be there in an hour or so!!

Starfish Bay

On the way back from Bocas del Drago we couldn't resist the temptation of a dip in the starfish bay..

There are 3 right next to us... can you see them?!

Bocas del Drago

Our last day in Bocas del Toro before flying into Panama City to meet up with Nati & Juanpi ahead of the wedding...

The lovely morning sunshine suggested we could capitalise by taking a morning boat trip to Bocas del Drago... 

...so after Dadda's morning paddle...

...and a swim with Mamma in front of our little hut...

... we set off to where the calm seas of the Archipelago meet the open Caribbean sea...

Quite a spectacle (finally) of lovely blue sea water all around us!

We took the essentials off the boat (my braccioli) and took a walk down the beach...

for a convenient place for a dip in the lovely warm water...

Heaven!!!
