Once, I can understand but twice, or is there some deliberate policy of creating huge queues for the tender. However, thinking about it, at both Cabo San Lucas and Fuerte Amador, the seas had become rough to the point of suspending tender services. Inconvenient this may have been and disorganised it may have appeared, but in fact, I now think the organisation was as good as it could be, with the ground staff working with efficiency and with helpful courtesy. Our crossing from the mainland was as turbulent as I can remember, to the point of momentary alarm!
THE PANAMA CANAL RAILWAY COMPANY.
The Panama Canal Railway trip was brilliant. A beautifully turned out train, topped and tailed by two immaculate vintage mainline diesel locomotives between which around five cars including an early-build dome car (late 1940s ?) were sandwiched.(Continued Day 47/69)
There can’t be so many that have traversed the length of the Panama Canal by rail, road, and ship. I understand the rail journey to be 47 miles, and the coach journey similar, but including a brief tour around some of Panama City outskirts. The Panama Canal is approximately 51 miles, Pacific to Atlantic.
