Things we most regret not bringing
Cat: My beautiful camera
Ian: More normal clothes
Craziest food eaten today
Cat: Bananas that have been transformed to taste like crisps
Ian: Spicy breakfast tortilla which was actually an omelette
I’m sitting on the balcony of the hostel typing away we are both getting over the strange feeling of it being afternoon but feeling like its midnight! We really have had a fantastic day in this city. We began full of fear but it was well and truly blown to the wind as we walked around and wondered where anyone could feel a sense of fear, with the exception of an iguana hurling towards you because your between it and its tree!!!
24 hour review of Guayaquil
The first impression we had was walking out of Guayaquil airport at 8.30pm after a day of travelling from Leicester for Ian and Wales for me. Over 24 hours in the car and plane, but it has been well worth it.
After dumping our bags in the hostel, we went for a wander down to the Rio and found a bar where we could sit and admire how large the river really is. It looked around a mile to the other side, and this river splits right down the middle of the city. The next morning we were woken by a couple of our new Celta teaching group. Jamin the jogger and Laura. We went for breakfast in a small café in the city, and then walked around a little to take in the city during the day. It’s hot but not too bad around 26-28 degrees, I think it just feels hotter since we came from snowy and frozen Britain.
By this point we ignored the guide book as it seemed the only thing the guidebook got right was how chocolate brown the river is.
Places you should visit if your in Guayaquil:
The rio guayas
Malacon – developed area alongside the river
Parque de los Iguanas
Las Penas
