Cebaco Island, Panama
Ship: Swan Hellenic - SH Diana
Itinerary: 11-Night Puntarenas to Cartagena
This morning, SH Diana is anchored off the coast of Cebaco Island, Panama.
We board the Zodiac for the short ride to Cebaco Island.
After we arrive, Nikki, the Expedition Leader, informs guests of which area on the beach are available for our use. Some areas are restricted for safety and privacy reasons.
Zodiacs shuttle guests to and from Cebaco Island. You can see lava rock formations in the forground.
The crew has set up a refreshment station on the beach so that every can stay hydrated!
While there are no facilities on this beach, such as umbrellas and loungers, there are both sunny and shady areas.
We only stayed on the beach for a short time, just long enough to shoot some video and photos. We are able to hitch a ride on a Zodiac back to SH Diana in plenty of time for lunch on board.
This afternoon, Lynn, the ship’s photographer, gives a very interesting presentation on composition rules for better photography.
At our daily briefing (every evening at 6:30pm), we learn about the Emberá people that we will visiting tomorrow.
Dinner this evening is again in Swan Restaurant and I am anxious to try the Beef Wellington. Rickee ordered the Chicken Yakitori. Both dishes were delicious.
My Beef Wellington was cooked perfectly. Unfortunately, my carnivore diet meant I had to strip away the crusty pastry, but the meat was tender and delicious.
Tomorrow we will be visiting the Emberá people, an indigenous tribe in Panama.
