Did our own excursion here. Not a great place to walk around.

Another VERY expensive tour which turned out to be nothing short of a major disaster. The tour guide was useless, our visit to one of the locks was void of information and explanation, directions were obtuse at best. My traveling companion and I were forced to miss the boat ride portion of the tour because the monsoon-like rain storm ruined our shoes and clothes, In addition, when we saw the boats tilting in the water, we were both too nervous to continue. We had to buy dry clothes at the hotel from whicht he boats left and I had to throw out a perfectly good pair of walking shoes. We were fortunate to befriend an employee of the tour company and she was able to get us on a bus back to the ship rather than having us wait for hours until our tour returned.

The only portion that attracted me to this tour was the Panama Canal. The city is a large garbage dump!

There is nothing here but poverty and distress.

All tours got off before the Gatun Locks and we went on the river cruise to see birds and monkeys. That part was great' we also went to the Gatun Locks for 1/2 hour to see ships passing thru, very interesting. We left for Colon and traveled thru the worst part of the city. Upon arrival at the docks we were turned away as the ship hadn't arrived so they drove us to the port that had shops and wanted us to stay there. There seemed to be no communication with the ship as each guide gave different explainings to the issue. One couple went into the casino as their guide said that when the Lyrica left our ship would dock and they could board. They left their group and almost missed the cruise as the ship never docked there! We were finally sent over to the empty cruise terminal and had to wait inside until the ship had been cleared. A prison riot had happened after we had passed by and 9 people had been killed. The later arriving buses had police escort theu the city to the port!

Was told there was shopping a short walk from the ship. We never did find the shops and no one seemed to either
