Panama city, Panama-Part 6-More photos of the Canal
Panama city, Panama-Part 6-More photos of the Panama Canal
After a couple of hours at the Panama Canal, we jumped into Alberto’s taxi to go back to the Marriott hotel in Panama City. Alberto, being the businessman he was, said he wanted to personally show us other parts of the Canal and the city. We thought “what the heck? Let’s let this guy be our guide for as long as possible”.
There are two well known bridges across the Panama Canal: The Bridge of the Americas and the new Centenario bridge. The Centenario is quite an architectural masterpiece and after first seeing a photo of it a couple of years ago, it had always been my dream to cross it. Alberto must have read my mind because that was the first place he took us. Here is a photo of Centenario from the locks of the Canal and then a photo of it close up.

We stopped along the Canal and took a few photos of a large cargoship crossing from the Caribbean over to the Pacific side. 
After some time driving up to the bridge, photographing more parts of the Canal, it was time to head back to the city.
Next-Back to the city.
