September 26

Grab some breakfast downstairs in our hotel and head for the mall!

We meet up with a friend of Arno's Alexis who works as a tour guide, perfect!

We wrap up shopping for the day, swing by the hotel to drop off our purchases and head for the
 Panama Canal

 Alexis really knew a lot about the Canal! Very interesting!






 This was a simulator feeling like you were on a ship going through the canal!






Outside for a quick shot of the canal and then of course a cold beer! LOL

Then we were off to the Old Town Panama City, lots of beautiful old buildings. They are restoring the whole area, to buy a place in ruins is about $1000 Sq. foot!
And you have to restore it as per the rules of restoration!
An average apartment 1000 Sq ft goes for about $1500  a month and up









What is really cool as that when you have a view of the bay,
 you see across the bay and it is all skyscrapers and modern

Across the bay





















Alexis took us to a really nice restaurant for dinner in the old district, food was delicious!

  1. What a great trip. Now you Mom & I are certain we could have been with you. Those apartments sound like a really good opportunity for a sound investment. Any details on the reno costs?
