Stars on the wall posada, Puerto Columbia

June 24th, 2008 Benedict Adam

Also known as the pants ladies hostel this would have been an okay place to stay (its was fairly cheap), but purely based on the fact we were made to feel as we’d invited ourselves to stay round someones house and the owner struted around in her pants i’d give it a wide berth.
