Puerto Veijo

"Old Harbour", close to the border with Panama on the Caribean side, is a little village where life isn't too much affected by Tourism. I booked in in a hostel Called Rocking J's. The hostel has rooms for about 40 people, but they extended the capacity to 300 by putting 50 hammocks in a big room, side by side and a whole floor of tents, side by side.  The public kitchen was equipped pretty poorly, there were about 4 forks, 2 cutting knives, 6 pots an pans without a decent handle so you'd pour out your meal all over the stoves at the moments it's ready and you want to pick it up to serve it. It's a pity that the whole place had such a commercial feeling, because the whole floor, garden, benches, beams, doors where decorated a la Parc Gwell style. Guests could even create there own design and leave a permanent signature.
