Stillwater Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Probably you all know this children´s book, either from your own, your children´s or your grandchildren´s youth. In case you are not familiar with the German title, the slightly different translation is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janosch With the AW-109 now officially adapted to p3dv4 I flew from Tocumen airport over la Ciudad de Panama... ... to the Miraflores locks at the Pacific side of the Panama Canal. If you got some time: Worth reading! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_Canal Following the Rio Chagres... ... and over Gatun Lake... ... to the Gatun (Aqua Clara) locks on the Atlantic side. I did not pay any toll for the Canal passage, even cheaper than Richard Halliburton: The lowest toll ever paid was 36 cents (equivalent to $5.13 in 2017), by American Richard Halliburton who swam the Panama Canal in 1928. Interesting life, btw, see the link and enjoy reading! The city of Colon, with Enrique Adolfo Jiminez airport - totally deserted so not worth a picture.

Captain Lars Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Very interesting pictures of a very interesting scenery to look at. Sadly the Schleusen don't match the water boundaries so no ship could really cross them. And thanks for the title... The Darién peninsula, also in Panama, at the colombian border, is one of the most remote and isolated places on earth having no roads crossing it, but some hostile tribes inhabiting it, as far as I know...

I could not resist to make it the German title here, as the English one does not match good enough. Just like the (nicely modeled) locks, which probably do not match good enough to make Henriks ships pass... Interesting read on the Darién peninsula, I´ll change my next routing now!

Orbxtreme Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Very nice shots Gerold, looks like you also caught a shot of a drug dealer speedboat racing in Rio Chagres (in shot number 4), considering the splash around the ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Francois. No need for drug deals in Panama, the profits on tax crime are much higher. Including the licensing on sports pro photos, megayacht ownership and all this other garbage.
