It is a non movie review Wednesday, Andres did go to the movies but there was not one cinema screen in Panama showing Coco in English… All dubbed, so he didn’t see it in protest. But we do have a chat about Christmas movies.
In the last hour today we take a trip with Ben Coombs on his expedition from the Northern most Pub to the Southernmost pub. This takes him on a journey from an island at the top of Norway to the Southernmost tip of Chile. His vehicle is a TVR sports car made in Britain which so far has proved to be extremely reliable. Now here in Panama his car being readied for shipping to Colombia (we have no road through the Darien to Colombia, the only way is by ship). All being well Ben hopes to conclude his journey in February.
It is Wednesday and time to check out the happenings up North in fact the Great White North with this weeks Canada Report with Michael.
