CA 1 - Hotter than expected!

On a cold wet January winter morning listening to the rain battering against the window as I lay in bed (awake at 4am as usual).  I really felt the need to go on holiday.  Later that day, in work it transpired that It would probably be a very good idea to take my summer holiday in February.

After an evening googling we found exactly the holiday we wanted and amazingly two spaces had come free.  Cycling through Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama was duly booked.  We probably only had a couple of weeks to get ready and I did all my shopping/packing in two very cold wet winter weeks. (British winter weeks)

Having just landed in Panama and walked out of the airport into a 30 degree furnace, I am having very serious doubts as to the appropriateness of my packing. My head was not in a hot sunny place when I packed!
