Costa Rica

Now there will be a big photo dump of going through the canal. It starts with entering Panama City, then The Miraflores Locks, The Pedro Miguel Locks, then exiting The Gatun Locks. We arrived Panama City around 5:45 AM, started the 1st Lock around 7 AM, and the hit the Atlantic Ocean around 5 PM.

Looking down, there is only a 2 to 3 foot space between the ship and canal

During the begining there a bunch of Locals that come out to watch the ships pass through.

Now for some ship scenes. The Queen Elizabeth was overhauled in Singapore about 9 Months ago. The Grand lobby, and two pieces of Art I loved.

I find amusement with odd things. during the ships refurbishment they placed hand rails near the heavy wooden doors and moved the electronic door openers. They left the old sign where the old opener was, and I was amazed how many people tried opening the door with the non existent button.

Some dinner and bar shots.
