Lima’s hustle and bustle grew a bit tiresome by the end of
our 8 days there and we were both happy to begin making our way north to
Guayaquil. The busy company Cruz del Sur proved once again to be an excellent
choice—almost fully reclining seats, food, blankets, and pillows. All of these
things made the 32 hours much more comfortable and we passed out of Peru and
into Ecuador without any trouble at all. I had my last taste of Peru on the bus
ride as well by consuming my most favourite Peruvian cookies, alfajores. These little wonders are a
short bread cookie filled with dulce de leche and sprinkled with icing sugar.
These treasures coupled with gravol made the time fly by despite a somewhat
smelly baby and a few horrendous movies that most likely never made it to North
American theatres.
We opted to return to another familiar hostel in Guayaquil
and have decided to forgo the northern adventure to Canoa because of a lack of
swell. Instead, we bought plane tickets back to the Galapagos Islands for a
week, and then will see how the waves are during afterwards. We will fly into a
new location that we did not visit last time, San Cristobal. We will get the best
snorkeling and beach basking this way, rather than taking another bus. It is
also possible to surf in this area, so if the opportunity presents itself we’ll
be ready!
More soon...
