bit cooler weather!, even the dogs here ae sweating and everytime you try
and get some thing done it seems to take a week!! The boat is ready to
leave and I think i speak for everyone that we will pleased to get out of
Panama with some monies left. Having transited the Suez a number of times
I am of the opinion that they have imported the staff to run the
Canal.However I would say that the transit of the canal is very
interesting even more so when you consider that the build was completed in
1913 and has stood the test of time. All the locks are worked on gravity
so given the size it is even more impressive.The only thing that spoils
the whole thing is the cost of things and the attitude of the people there
to the visitors.Anyhow I've got to go now but will place another blogg
whilst we are under way.
Cheers
