Before leaving Panama City, we bought some basic groceries to get us through the first few days back on the boat – bread, butter, cheese, lunch meat, some fruit and a few vegetables.
Once in Portobelo, it was time for a big shopping trip to one of the supermarkets in Sabanita, the next bigger town.


For $1.60 per person we take one of the flashy busses to Super 99, a trip that takes about an hour and 20 minutes.


Hans leaves us ladies alone and goes to the hardware store. While he is gone, my mom and I manage to fill two carts. Coffee, powdered milk, sugar, flour, rice, pasta, wine and rum should easily last us for the next two months and produce and dairy for the next two to three weeks.

With the newly discovered ride-sharing app “In-Drive” we catch a ride back to Portobelo for $13, quite a bargain compared to the regular taxi fare of $25. After all, who wants to take the bus with more than 10 big shopping bags?

Before…. Vorher….

After…. Nachher….
