Dominical
On beach & El Coco restaurant
On Tuesday morning November 17th I walked in Dominical village which
is reduced to a ground street with hotels, restaurants, shops and
two mini-markets as well as a Tourist Office where I collected the
city map to seek a non-existent cybercafé except for going to the
Diuwak hotel. On the other hand El Coco Restaurant accepted the
parking of my vehicle. The conveniences are drinking water, cold
showers, toilets and Wifi for US$5 per day. I settled there
for three days. Because the website
http://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/
in the country files, advice
for travellers, tells that the border between Colombia and Venezuela
is always closed. However I must be imperatively before the end of
May 2016, end of my one year drug stock for my cardiac pathology, in
Guyana at Cayenne to renew my nine-drug cocktail. I thus prepared
the way by Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, the north of
Brazil, Guyana, Suriname and finally French Guiana! The way of these
nine countries adds up approximately 20,000 km according to the
layout on the digital maps by QuoVadis7.2 software. Of course
reality will be probably different. I must thus manage my time with
attention to assume the risks; moreover I must take a barge from
Porto Velho to Manaus to traverse the 750 km between these two
cities in Amazonia. For this purpose I drew up a road plan day by
day. The tourist visits will thus be reduced to the most highlights.
At present I have appointment with the American couple at XS
Memories on road CA#1 to finalize the share container from Colon to
Cartagena. The wet season is still not finished, It rains the every
day.

Golfito
On Friday, November 20th was a driving morning towards the border of
Panama. To bivouac I made a detour towards Golfito then a dirt track
on the left and finally I asked to the owner of a residence if I
could station on his ground. His agreement was spontaneous and he
guided me to install my truck. Of course I would have preferred a
site at the edge of water, but finally I accepted.
On beach, but not far

On Saturday November 21st I left Costa Rica, look at
the border crossing.
Armelle & Christian Blot had given me an appointment at the border side
Costa Rica. We met around 7:30 to exchange our information. They
follow me on my website since the origin of my tour round the world.
