Lynne is feeling unwell this morning – blaming a dodgy prawn from the cocktail party. I said that perhaps my bad head came from something similar. That was not accepted and something “as a newt” was mumbled in response.
Began our transit at around 8am and two, normally closed, crew decks had been opened to the passengers. Unfortunately, they were crowded and it was almost impossible to get a view of our entry to the first lock – Miraflores.
We did have a clear view from our balcony and could look alongside and see ships using the new locks.
Surprised that they are about 20m higher than the old ones and could see a massive cargo ship travelling parallel to us but a couple of hundred metres distant and 20m above.
Went to the Trivia session but I was the only one from our team – probably looking at the canal, or suffering from the party.
Our rival team had a spare place and asked me to join them. We managed to score 13, in the face of some obtuse questions but the winners had 15.
Lynne did not want anything to eat, so went to the buffet for a bowl of soup and spent the afternoon on the balcony, watching the canal go by.
Did not bother with dinner but had room service.
Panama Canal looks fascinating. Were Trump’s spies in evidence checking security?!
Hi Adrian, no sign of anything. Continual stream of traffic.
