En heldag vid kanalen
Sommar2013, 11-01-2020
Vi kom till Colon i Panama pĂ„ morgonen med kryssningsbĂ„ten, det var bara att sĂ€tta sig pĂ„ en buss och Ă„ka ca: 1,5 tim. innan vi var framme vid Panamakanalen. DĂ€r hoppade vi pĂ„ en bĂ„t med plats för 400 personer. Ni var vi bara 7st bussar sĂ„ runt 340 personer. Det var varmt i luften men regn till och frĂ„n, fanns platser under tak att sitta pĂ„. bĂ„ten hade guider som hela tiden pratade om kanalen och dess historia pĂ„ minst 4-5 olika sprĂ„k. Vi Ă„kte ca:30 min fram till den första slussen som skulle ta oss mer 8 meter innan vi kon ut pĂ„ en sjö. HĂ€ftigt att dessa slussar styrs endast med sjĂ€lv tryck inget pumpande av vatten, Sedan Ă„kte vi vidare pĂ„ sjön och blev bjudna pĂ„ dricka och mat under tiden vi nĂ€rmade oss nĂ€sta sluss. Denna var i tvĂ„ steg sĂ„ 8 +8 meter till skulle vi för att komma ner till havsnivĂ„ med Stilla havet. Slussarna (dom gamla) Ă€r ganska lĂ„nga och det kostar massor att Ă„ka hĂ€r, allt styrs pĂ„ vikterna. Vikt pĂ„ last och bĂ„t, de största containerfartygen fĂ„r betala runt 1,2 miljon/ resa. Panama fĂ„r in 40% av hela sin kassa varje Ă„r, detta anvĂ€nds till gamla, skola och sjukvĂ„rd för alla invĂ„nare. ĂndĂ„ ser man vilket fattigt land detta Ă€r men ocksĂ„ rikt och modernt. Enn upplevelse som tar runt 4tim samt 2+2 timmarbuss Ă„ter till Colon. BĂ„ten lĂ€gger till i huvudstaden Panama.
Excellent guide - No lunch!

Edgar was a knowledgeable tour guide and we were fortunate to have had him as our tour guide. However, contrary to the advertised description of the tour it does NOT include lunch. Beware of this because you will need to take a snack with you. The trip is long and you will get hungry along the way. This is important!
