Today we started a Panama Canal transit bright (OK, not really bright) and early. It was going to be a day with rain off and on. When you think about how Gatun Lake loses 52 million gallons of water for each ship that transits the canal you know they get a lot of rain to keep it going. My plan of laying out in the sun as we transited the canal came apart like a cheap watch. I went ahead and watched the transit and once again took quite a few photos. People got off (tender) in Gatun Lake for shore excursions after we transited the three Gatun Locks. We anchored there until 11:30 when we turned around and headed back through the Gatun Locks on our way to Colon, Panama. We arrived in Colon around 3:00 to pick up the people on shore excursions and to give the people onboard a chance to go ashore. I went ashore for a while and checked out the shops and then it was back to the ship. Colon Panama has little to offer….
Note: More and more photos are being left off the blog because this "high speed " internet aboard the ms Amsterdam is anything but..... They keep advertising High Speed Internet... amazing
