My second day on the Kuna Yala islands. This time we got way more sun :P
Whenever you visit an island that is inhabited by Kuna, the women will exhibit their traditional mola clothes. The pieces and patters are created by stitching multiple bands of cloth together. They use them for their traditional woman's clothing.
In the afternoon we visited one of the Kuna “cities”. I already saw some from the boat. Unfortunately these islands all seem to be surrounded by a ring of rubbish (the Kuna people have no organized waste system). But inside it is actually very tidy. We saw mostly children in the town, the women stayed in their houses and I guess that the men were out fishing.
Back to Panama City I got quite lucky again. The 2 hostels in Old Town were completely overbooked. Since I had no reservation I had already prepared myself for the night bus. However, me room mate from the Kuna Yala got an upgrade to a twin private room (for free). Thanks a lot for sharing it. I was so god damn tired!
see you in Paris or Barcelona
