Panama City and the Canal
Christian May 11th, 2008
We took the early flight that left Quito at 7 AM, which meant we had to be at the airport by 5:30. We paid our $40 each to leave the airport and were on our way. Panama City was tough to find cheap accommodation. We narrowed it down to a few budget hotels and one hostel. We ended up trying the hostel (Zuly’s) first and ended up staying there. It was definitely not the nicest or cleanest place that we had ever stayed in. They only offered dorm beds for $6.60 each if we shared one. It was pretty grungy looking, but we decided it would be okay for a couple of nights. **We later found out from a couple we met in Bocas, that they had stayed there and found worms in the mattresses of the hostel** As soon as we checked in we headed out to the city to explore.
