Today – to get a proper overview – I did a combined Canal and City Tour. After pick-up we made it straight to the Canal and the Miraflores Locks – just in time to see the CL Tomo being lifted to the level of Lago Miraflores. From the viewing platform we continued to the very cooled down IMAX theater for a 3D movie on the canal, its history and engineering, albeit more on the entertaining side of life; the Canal Museum yesterday certainly was more informative and detailed.
From the locks it was back into Panama City and Casco Viejo – with a few stops. We also crossed the Bridge of the Americas – essentially linking South and North America.
I was eventually dropped at my hotel – and after a bit of rest I did venture out for a bit of exploration in the modern city center and a nearby craft brewery.
