Paki Point

3/7/2016

It's a gorgeous Saturday morning.  After a lazy start to the day and relaxing breakfast we make our plan for the afternoon.  Our destination is Paki Point, which is identified as a "Must Do" in the booklet provided by our landlady.  Google Maps tells us that it is 3.6 km (1.7 mi) northeast - just follow the main road outside our condo.  We consider walking, but the sun is hot and we are not sure what to expect, so we opt to pay $3 each for a taxi ride.  80% of the trip is on paved road, then it turns to a mixture of gravel and sand.

We arrive a Paki Point which is a good area for surfing and relaxing.  On the inland side of the road is a restaurant/surfboard rental shop.  It is also appointed with lounge chairs on a deck which can be rented or are complementary if you spend enough on food and drinks.

We grab a table in the covered deck side of the restaurant, order some beverages, and kick back.  There is plenty of quiet entertainment watching the surfers catching waves and the people biking to Paki Point or attempting to go beyond possibly to Playa Bluff, another 4 km up the road.  After a while we order lunch - the fresh catch of the day for me and a burger for William.  My fish is very good, mild tasting and cooked in butter.  It comes with a fresh side salad and rice and beans.  William declares his burger to be almost as good as Buena Vista's.

We sit and sip beverages for a while longer then decide it is time to head back.  Taxi's occasionally come by, but we decide to walk for a while rather than wait.  Along the walk back we find the Panamanian solution for a portion of wash-out road - plant a palm tree!  We also see a nice beach area we may try out in the future.  As we pass by the beach a taxi driver taps on his horn - sure, we'll catch a ride the rest of the way to the condo!
