Yesterday
we went through the Panama Canal. The lock system is amazing, and there is
really no more space than for the ship to pass. 
Ships are
waiting to pass. Sometimes for days, and it is not cheap. This ship paid
quarter million pound…..and had to give 60 days’ notice on when she would be
passing.
Between the
locks we were gliding through the rainforest. In the water you have alligators,
snakes and spiders….we didn`t see any of them….
At the last
lock a crowd had gathered to see the ship. So here we were, taking pictures of
them taking pictures of us…..and we could hear their “speaker” in English.
“This
company pays us 4 million dollar a year to pass……” and the whole crowd was
cheering……
And then…all
the skyscrapers of Panama City revealed itself. Wonder if they have more high
rises then Manhattan? Looks beautiful, and one day we would like to be back and
explore this city.
Today we
are at sea (Pacific Ocean now), and tomorrow we will be in Nicaragua.
Hope you all are doing great. Love following your blog and reading about all your adventures.
