When we reached our next hostel – Zuly´s Backpackers Hostel – It was a pleasantly unpleasant surprise.

We had had numerous strike outs before we found Zuly´s, but as the namesake herded us to our room we walked hard into a whiff of air that wreaked of too many humans.

It was suffocating.

In a tiny room, painted a disgustingly bright yellow, were two bunk-beds, six people, 12 bags, 1 guitar, an adjoin hostel laundry room with hanging wet clothes…and the best yet….NO WINDOW.

We are supposed to be here for five days….
