Day 76: Panama Canal.
We spent the day outside going to various vantage points to see this transit, amazing! I am so happy we were able to do this. We saw crocodiles, capybara, deer and brown pelicans. (our aussie pelicans are white with black)
At 6.30pm we passed beneath the Bridge of the Americas and into the Pacific Ocean, home stretch, almost. 30 more days.
The photos look hazy, that's because the weather was hot and humid, with lots of moisture in the air.

Next port Puntarenas, Costa Rica.

Panama Canal, tugboats at the ready.

Promenade, deck 7, so close you can touch the side.

Panama City.

This building seems to be for people to watch ships transiting the locks. We watched them while they watched us. LOL. Sorry the photo isn't too good.

I try to keep my written ramblings as brief as possible as I feel no-one wants to wade through too much waffle..................
The photos tell the story best, I feel, and I am glad you like them. :)
