Today – for the proper overview – I did a combined  Canal a d city tour. After pick-up we made it straight to the Canal and Miraflores Locks – just in time to see the CL Tomo being lifted to the level of Lago Miraflores. From the viewing platform it was into the (too much, cooled down IMAX theater for a 3D movie on the canal, its history and engineering (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 abit of rest I did venture out for a bit of exploration in the modern city center.
