Our farewells said, and tears shed we headed off on another adventure to Mompiche- a small beach town 6 hours north and 3 modes of transport away with Jo and Jordan, friends from the farm for a few days..........
- Mompiche is a small place and has nightly powercuts for an hour (ish....) which is what, after a 6 hour tiring journey we arrived to...complete darkness.....depositing us into possibly the worst hostel ever! Walking out of our rooms that Jordan found bugs on her sheets we were greeted by an aged sweaty gentleman wearing nothing but his teeny weeny whitey undies!
- The rest of the week we spent at an amazing cabana just seconds stroll from the water! (See the photos)
- Perfect for our chill week....morning runs, nightime yoga, frequent swims, relaxing in the hammock and lots of food!
- Some Ecuadorians have an interesting way of ´swimming´- many seem to walk in up to their waist and stand in a close close circle....and that´s about it!
- Hard decision to leave here..should we stay or should we go?.....surf or relax?.....
- .........Surfing won!
- 8 hours, 4 modes of transport later (including the initial stage in the back of a decrepid ute that broke down a number of times on our short journey) we made it back to Canoa for 2 fun filled days back in canoa fitting in a couple of surfs a day with more chill time and bumpng into lots of friends from our time at the farm... and making a few new friends at coco loco, celebrating our impending 8 our night bus back to quito with (quite) a few drinks... hee hee
