Holidays!

All finished on the farm! As much as I enjoyed my time there, it was definitely time to move on and see more of the country. Natasha, Jenn and I have come to Puerto Lopez on the southern coast of Manabí kind of by accident. We were headed for an eco-lodge just south of here called Alandaluz, but the journey took so long that we ended up staying here last night instead. And what a good decision it was! The last of the 3 buses we took to get here was half full of whale-watching guides, so this afternoon we're off on a 4-hour boat trip to see how many of them we can spot (whales, that is, not guides). Sandwiches included!

On the way through Machalilla (10 mins north of here) last night, we learned that there's a big festival on there for the next 3 days, so checked it out briefly this morning. Things hadn't really got going yet, so we're heading back there later. We did have time to sample a spiral-cut sausage on a stick from a street vendor while we were there - a sausage lolly if you like. Great stuff! Anyway, our tour is about to leave, so I'll update you on that later. Much love to all, d xxx
