Breakfast @ Chitre

Some countries seem to develop a culture upon their own culture whereas travelers are involved. In Costa Rica and Panama lots of Hostels try to make their places more attractive by offering free pancakes for breakfast (and coffee of course)... Although mostly this consist of providing a bag of premixed pancake dough that you only have to mix with water and is meant to make American Style Pancakes, not the delicious Crepes as they call our European Pancakes. When you're also offered bananas you should consider yourself in a luxury situation...
Some hostels try to be different and even offer a free continental breakfast. As far as I know that means bread with cheese, ham, scrambled eggs, fruit, jam and coffee or tea. In some cases it means a range of bread with a choice of cheese, your egg made in your choice of style with your mix of vegetables, yogurt and so on. In this hostel we stayed at, it meant: toast with jam and coffee...
