DAY 25 - HOP ON, HOP OFF BUS TOUR

Got up at around 8:00 a.m.  We planned to have breakfast at the hostel as it is included with the room.  Went to the kitchen for breakfast but there was nothing left, no toast, a little cereal, no milk and no fresh fruit.  We were a little put out but decided to go to the nearby Burger King.  I ordered egg and ham croissant.  Ugh!  Terrible, never again.

After breakfast, we joined the 'hop on, hop off' canal bus tour.  We donned the bus headphones and sat back, relaxed and listened to the commentary as the bus rolled along.  There were only two 'hop off' points that we were interested in - the Canal Locks stop and the Old City area of Panama City.  The canal stop was interesting as we toured the museum there as well as watched a couple of ships clear the locks.  After an hour at the locks we boarded the next bus and stopped off at the Old City.  We spent a couple of hours here and booked a hostel for tomorrow night and for our remaining time in Panama.  We are not happy with the Siriri Hostel where we are currently staying.  After touring the Old City we boarded the next bus and completed our tour.  We headed back to the hostel for a little rest and then to the Wing Zone fast food restaurant for supper before retiring for the night.
