... schon mal ein Auto gemietet hat, weiss, dass das Auto bei d** Abgabe geprueft wird und nachtraeglich **kannte Schaeden zu Lasten des Autov**miet**s gehen. Zudem gab es keine Schaeden. Jedenfalls ueb**nimmt die Swisscard die 53.-, da es zu viel Aufwand wa**e, diesem kleinen Betrag nachzugehen. Ist das vielleicht sogar die Strategie von Dollarcar???

... in this part of town. It's all fast food outlets such as Pizza Hut, Burger King etc. Last nght we ate in the hotel which was fine. I think there's a new part of town which we haven't had time to visit so it could be different there.

This will probably be the last blog as we go home tomorow. If the day is eventful (I hope not) we might tell you about it.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our trip round Ecuador and the Galapagos. Some of our experiences have been like a ...

... airlines to enquire about flight availability. Unlike most people who go to the Galapagos Islands on prebooked flight / boat trip packages, our plan was to get a flight there, and go check out the boats when we got there and snag a last minute bargain (after all, it worked for us for Antarctica!).

The boat trips around the islands really are the only way to get to see them properly, though they are not cheap, especially in July when we were ...

We arrived in Guayaquil last night, pretty much on schedule. And as things go, it felt like last year--everyone's bags arrived, except one person's. Last year it was Chris Hamilton"s bag, I think. This year, it was Bobby Bresee. But like last year, it turned out that Bobby's bag DID make it, and we picked it up today.
The bad news: the augers were spotted on a baggage cart as we ...

So yesterday I took an all day bus from Quito back to Guayaquil. I spent several nice days in Quito visiting the "mitad del mundo" (center of the world, where the equator runs through) and other cool stuff, but itīs definitely nice to be back in ...

After a short bus ride from Alausi we spent the day sightseeing in Guayanquil. The city doesn't have the best reputation from travelers or guidebooks. It's a big modern, busy, bustling city. Contrary to popular opinion we both really like it. Most people say the city lacks the old world charm or colonial buildings of Quito. While it doesn't have those sights, it does have a ...

... going to be protests later that day and the border was closed but if we each paid $US20 the cops would lift the barricades and we could sneak on through. What choice did we have? Aguas Verdes is a complete shithole and there was no way we were going get out and walk with all our bags. Especially after we've been told about "all the robbers in the area." Then we are told the cab ride will cost $US10 each! So ...

... was called Tortilla de verde or something like that.

We went to see the Museum of Arte Contemprorana and it was super nice, great collection, nice layout , well organised, nice music inside...really....its build almost in a shape of ship and it was kind of cool the viewpoint to the river in one of the corners....
Anyway I am glad I did the detour through Guayaquil despite all warnings of how dangerous it was and how not nice the city is and everything else...in the park in ...
