YouTube Video Description

On this trip Steve and Joanne cruise through the Panama Canal, one of man''s largest and most difficult engineering achievements, a man-made waterway that divides North and South America. A series of canal locks raise and lower ships in to Gatun Lake and provide a crossing between the Pacific and Atlantic. By maintaining the fresh water in Gatun Lake it provides a unique eco system making a fascinating and interesting rain forest. This makes it one of our bucket list vacations. So come with us on a holiday of a lifetime as we traverse the locks, go into the rain forest and visit interesting ports in Columbia, Costa Rica and Mexico on the Emerald Princess one of Princess Cruises older ships. In this episode we take the scenic city tour excursion, get accosted by street venders, thoroughly enjoy a local band and folk dancing troupe. We go to the Naval museum before visiting the San Pedro church. Returning to the ship we goi through the Port Oasis with it's selection of animals and some shops.
