Guayaguil

After Galapagos neither of us felt 100% so we decided to stay in Guayaguil for a few days to recover. We stayed in a comfortable hotel with all the amenities and relatively cheap. To be honest for the first 2 days we didnt think much of the city and didnt do much. On the last day we booked a late bus to Mancora in Peru and having time to kill and feeling better did some exploring.

We were pleasantly surprised to find a lovely modern marina and boardwalk with loads of nice shops, rambaling around took up most of our day (even got in a movie in english). Following the guide books recommendation we went looking for a swiss restaurant which was overpriced so we stumbled along until we found a really cool live band playing on a bridge with a good crowd of locals enjoying. We joined the fun, with some beers and hamburgers , the only tourists in sight.

We then ran for our bus, which was very comfortable and left us in Mancora early on Monday.

Just to let everyone know, the meteroite fell in the very south east of Peru, were currently in the Northwest. Distance wise its the equivalent to a meteor in Germany and us being worried about you guys, so all is well.
