South Of The Border »
Panama City

Must be in Panama now

with old style transport

Classic art deco cafe - the famous Coca Cola cafe. We found the food was crap

The Panama Canal - nearly 100 years old...

... and still a source of monopoly profits on sea transport

Dozens of ships in the stream waiting for their turn at this

Little trains that pull the ships through the locks

and from one level down (or up) to the next

Wow - this is a modern metropolis

Then there's the old city too

lots of skyscrapers ....

Only reason Henry Morgan didn't destroy this is the locals moved this facade 10kms away to avoid him

.... some more twisted than others

Towers 500 years apart

Remnants of the old city Uncle Henry sacked in 1671

Bolivar Square - good cafes, but expensive

Gleaming launches in abundance

Just like the marina back in Waihou eh Dave
