Rock the Casco
Casco Viejo was our destination in the morning prior to our departure for Bocas del Toro. The $4 dollar cab ride for 4 people took us about 15 minutes from our hotel. Narrow streets with what appeared to be a non-stop renovation of the area. The Old City is becoming new again. It appeared safe during the day with numerous police on foot , on motorcycle and in patrol cars. At night I’ve read safety might be a question. Narrow streets with 2 to 3 story buildings with balconies and at the tip of Casco Viejo is French Park memorial to the French builders of the canal. We meandered through the streets and found Granclement. A gelato shop owned by a French couple. We enjoyed Mango-Passion fruit, Basil-Mint, Guanabana and Blackberry sorbet.
