Panama City

Just like the marina back in Waihou eh Dave

Gleaming launches in abundance

Bolivar Square - good cafes, but expensive

Remnants of the old city Uncle Henry sacked in 1671

.... some more twisted than others

Must be in Panama now

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

lots of skyscrapers ....

Then there's the old city too

Wow - this is a modern metropolis

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

Little trains that pull the ships through the locks

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

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

The Panama Canal - nearly 100 years old...

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

with old style transport
