30th Dec 16 - Colon, Panama
Arrived in Colon, Panama. We have been through the Panama Canal before. This time we viewed the Gatun Locks then took a Dome Train to the Pacific side and did a tour of Panama City. Really good!
Gatun Locks |
We watched the ships being towed through the dock by the mules with inches to spare on either side. If you like 'Boys Toys' you are in heaven. Not only that, but a worker was retiring so they all blew their horns/sirens. A cacophony of noise. Wonderful! |
Boarded the Panama Canal Railway in a Dome Car to transit to the Pacific. |
Time for a Panama Beer! |
The causeway across the lake made you feel you were at sea! |
Titan the Orange Crane - one of the most powerful in the world. |
Panama City - a very modern city |
