I need a vacation, 3 weeks of school and I´m pooped!
The plan is hit the coast, canoa first then travel down towards Puerto Lopez.
The night bus was booked out so had to take the day bus. Was a scary journey, coming out of Quito, out of the Mountains. Especially when he locked the brakes and near rear ended someone!
Have made it as far as Baños, theres a local festival on. End up drinking Aquadiente with a few locals. Translated, it means fire water! It is! My Spanish was great after a few shots!
Ended up in Canoa, in a hostel Coco Loco. Friendly dudes there, nice soup.
Sunday is a quiet one there, but we hit the pub for the Copa America final between Brazil and the Argys. Brazil wins!
The old caprioskas are going down a treat! At $1.50 a pop, its the same price as beer!
Wake up the next day, and over the course of the day, start feeling increasingly dodgy. The crew in the hostel have all wacked in $5 for a seafood feast! That gets each person, a lobster, a few tiger prawns the size of
an arm and some calamari! Noice!.
I on the otherhand, have taken up residence on the toilet and I am what only can be described as pissin profusely out my ass! Time for the ´´dioralites´´ and more toilet paper!
Not good!
Ill spare you the details, but it was a long night! The next day I feel a bit better. So go out for a few, eat a burger, wake up around 4am and make a dash for it. RALFFFFFFFFFFFF! Pissing from both ends!
After 3 days of this, Im pretty sure that I may have a teasy weasy problem in the old intestinal area. Word from the locals is, Papaya seeds are the business! Natural Antibiotics, blah, blah. Yea and grapefruits as well. After eating these till they come outta my ears (and ass), Im still on the pot and I havent eaten any burgers in days! To make matters worse, Ash is in the same boat, we´re competing for toilet time, and arguing about whos turn it is to get another toilet roll!
Holiday bliss!
Its time to go to a professional!
Time for a new entry, this one is good!

the dream team, 6 plus hours digging 2 hrs driving. 10km covered. Burger timeOther than the toilet and the doctor experience, Canoa is a chilled place, with not too many gringos. Main activities are Para Gliding, surfing (crappy this time of year), doing bugger all and some off road adventures.
Oh yea, cocktails are cheap and most places have 2 for 1 cocktails. So you can do a pubv crawl around town. Met a great crew and the hostel Coco Loco, rocks! They have the Hora Loca, which empowers the residents to call the happy hour at a time of their pleasing. This in our case was when everyone was at their most thirsy!
